I'm asking for assistance - I now have two batteries for which the Battery LED will not light (stays dark) when AC power is plugged in. [With a good battery, that LED does light up green, as it should.] At $25 each, I don't want to just toss the bum batteries.
These "state changes" happened during "normal operation" (under AC power) on an XO-1 with q2e43 and os13 (manually updated with the latest available RPMs). Previously, the Battery LED had been green. When I noticed it later, it was dark. [I remember that just prior to noticing the second failure, I had done a Sugar restart with <ctl-alt-erase>.] In my specific case, wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Troubleshooting_Battery is not helpful enough. [Results before/after 'batman-start' are not similar; results (after 'batman-start') with 'see-bstate' DO seem similar with either good or bum batteries (numbers don't cycle); 'ec-abnormal@' tells 0.] I gather that the EC has trouble talking to the bum battery, perhaps because of bad EEPROM data. [The bum batteries have enough power to run the (different) XO-1 I am testing them on.] If they have bad EEPROM data, how can I recover those batteries ?
