Hello

OK I tried something hardware related

I was considering a new install of Ubuntu, using the 64-bit edition, so
booted off the live CD and noticed the same red outline of the battery
indicator as on the hard drive install...

...sooo I turned off the laptop and pulled the battery out, then shoved
it back in and restarted.

The power indicator now seems to behave normally ! The time to charged
is now slowly getting less and the details are now showing correctly - I
will monitor the situation for the next few days, but thus far the issue
seems to have been solved, tho I don't know if the issue was caused by a
simple bad connection with the battery / motherboard interface or if
there is some other "switch" which has been reset ?

The laptop is just over a year old - the battery seems to still be a
tight fit into it's compartment and there was definite solid click when
I re-inserted it.


Is it is possible that a kernel update somehow flicked a "switch" to cause the issue ?
