Perhaps a problem > reading the EC. I think the 2 A are realistic. With a 5100 mAh capacity, it should result in somewhat more than 2 hours of run time (maybe more if the laptop eventually goes idle, and reduces CPU speed). What isn't realistic though is that the capacity (both, "design capacity", as well as "last full capacity") is given as just 279 mAh. Should I provide any ACPI dump files? I'm not sure whether there are any ACPI BIOS updates available for that computer. I've always got a hard time finding them on the HP website. They are telling me everything about Windows device drivers, Windows 7 upgrades, and other completely uninteresting (to me) items, but nothing about BIOS/firmware upgrades. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
