I have an N56VZ laptop. I run Arch-linux and have the same problem. Booting into Windows 7 or Windows 8 does make the fan quiet, but it does not load the battery (either it say it does not find it or that it is there, but not loading). As mentioned above, it helps to shut down the ismputer, remove the battery and then insert it againg.
I guress this is more an ASUS bug than a Linux, since it does not Work in Windows either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088146 Title: Asus n56vz battery state is wrong or battery not charging at all.
