The battery is shot, so I'm replacing it. Thing is, this problem only shows up when the laptop is plugged in. If I unplug the laptop, I can shut it down even if the battery is installed. Anyone know of a way to get around this issue? Having to unplug a laptop to shut it off is a pain in the neck as most people want to plug their netbook in when they aren't using it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
