Same problem here. I am running: Linux Mint 17.1 Asus N550JV 3.13.0-24-generic kernel BIOS: Version N550JV.207 I have send it for repair three times. First they changed motherboard, then they changed battery, and the last time they gave ma a new charger. The bug still appears. I had before Linux Mint 15, and the same thing was happening. Only way to fix it is to turn off hibernation and leave it to run out of batteries. Next time I turn it on, battery starts to charge. Very annoying.

*sigh* Happening to me too. Even using Ubuntu booted from a flash drive. Happened once before; Updated BIOS, fixed it. Now when I try to update the BIOS with the current BIOS version (basically a reinstall) it tells me the build is too old. It's the newest one off the ASUS site. Model: N550JV-DB72T I get the blinking orange light and no charging. Also got the fans raging at 100% on boot. That fixed itself it would seem.

Made an account to add to this thread. N550JV only a few weeks old also had this problem. I've used Ubuntu 13.10, Mint 15 Cinnamon, and Mint 16 Cinnamon. This problem occurred maybe twice with just the full fan speed problem, and only once with both the fan speed and the battery won't charge thing (that occurrence was while running Mint 16). I resolved it by removing the battery and discharging motherboard for 30 seconds and re-seating. Kind of a pain because one must unscrew and remove the back panel to access the battery. I also noticed that the keyboard was radiating a lot of heat, despite the pc not being under any significant load. Makes me nervous about potential damage.

I am on a brand new Asus S550C Ultrabook with Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon (64 bit) installed. Seem to be having an almost identical problem with the battery state reading being inaccurate on and off. Also when the battery gets to below 7% or so, fan goes full bore and battery light flashes orange... also doesn't seem to be charging while this is happening. Have to turn off, remove/replace charger and battery and seems to be ok again. Pretty sure this isn't the hardware.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1088146] Re: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.
I am running linuxmint 16 release candidate (so based on ubuntu 13.10) and have the battery issue. When running at 100% charged with power supply connected it shows as 0% charged. Looks like incorrect figures in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 maybe. My laptop is Compaq Presario C740. I dont think its really a BIOS issue per se, after all it worked fine in linuxmint 14 and 15. Its sounds like the the kernel (maybe) is not reading the battery state correctly for some reason.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1088146] Re: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.
I manage to able to avoid most of the issues as descripted by the orginal reporter on the ASUS N56VZ (bios 217) by following this 'rules' which I found by experimenting: a) Make sure to have the same 'charger-state' before the system was turned off. For example if I shutdown the machine I first unplug the charger and when I turn it on I make sure the charger is not connected. Or visa versa :-). b) Do not close the lid when shutting down the system. c) Keep about 30% charge in the battery before shutting down. My hunch is that there is sometimes weird going on with the EC (Embedded Controller) firmware. The moment the system starts and it seems to starts doing ACPI calls(?). Some trigger (for example a low battery reading) will cause the EC firmware to crash, leaving the fans running at full speed as a failsafe(?). It is not unusual for the EC firmware to stall or crash. Some Thinkpads suffered with similar issues with their EC firmware crashing on certain calls: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Embedded_Controller_Firmware#Bug:_Advanced_battery_query_causes_EC_hang I do not know how-to run the kernel in verbose mode such that we could indentify the potentially call causing the EC firmware to hang any pointers welcome. I would be happy to make a case such that we can reproduce the issue reliable allowing us to find a permanent fix for it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to upower in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088146 Title: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1088146] Re: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.
I don't think this bug is related to the battery or even the upower package. There is something non-volatile about this computer that only disappears when all power is removed. Not even a reboot fixes the problem. Maybe a BIOS problem, I don't know... I'm trying several things to identify the source of the problem. One of those things requires some changes in the BIOS settings, but I'm not sharing them yet because it may brake something. Please don't mess with your BIOS.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1088146] Re: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.
I think the truth might be somewhere in-between. The BIOS on these machines seems buggy, but ASUS can provide Windows drivers to cope with their own BIOS problems. I am currently running a 3.8.0 kernel patched with Aaron Lu's work mentioned here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52951. Since running this kernel, most of the problems in this bug report have cleared up for me. On rare occasions the battery indicator will be incorrect after resuming from sleep, but it happens far less frequently. An added bonus is that the brightness keys now work with proper OSD notification. I kind of wonder if the BIOS maintains some sort of ACPI state between shutdown/reboot/resume. I know that sounds odd and on most systems I would expect a clean state after shutdown or reboot, but it's the only thing that makes sense to me, given that yanking the power adapter and battery resolves the problem. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #52951 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52951 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to upower in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088146 Title: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.

I also have exactly the same bug, symptoms (fans at max, etc) and the only solution for me when it happens is turning off everything and removing the battery. If I'don't do this and reboot into Windows 8, then windows will tell me that the charged is plugged but the battery is not charging. Note that the orange light that turns one when the battery is charging is indeed off.

I am running BIOS version .216 (latest) and it seems to be some kind of ACPI related issue, as not only the battery is acting up, also my fans goes to max, not to mention the USB connections (if I enable 'power charging' in the BIOS). I normally have the issue if I turn-off the computer with a low-battery and start it later, but this behaviour is not always consistent.

Altough I'm not using Ubuntu, I'm also affected by this problem. Battery level doesn't seem to be a cause since this just happened to me and I had charged to 100% before. I'm not sure if this is a linux problem or a firmware problem since i t will remain until battery is replugged. Also, this time I charged to 100% using windows 8, and then shutdown the PC. Later I turned it on to boot Arch Linux and the fan went full speed (while booting the kernel), and battery led blinking orange. I powerd off the laptop again, and the led kept blinking. Then I powered it on again and the led keeps blinking but the fan speed has returned to normal.

The battery wont charge after login. I have to shutdown the system, unplug/replug battery and reboot to fix problem. - random energy state for battery (30-40%) (battery is unplugged in indicator applet) = After login, battery wont charge. I have to reboot and replug battery when system is shutdown to fix problem. ** Changed in: upower (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ph3nix_ (adrien-cantepie) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to upower in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088146 Title: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.

I have updated my BIOS to the latest version and problem is gone. I am not sure, if it is just a coincidence, or this bug is really based on BIOS-Ubuntu misunderstanding each other, but I have 1 week of no power problems.
