GM @mladen, so after some more search on this issue, I have some more specific questions for you.
The Problem:
- My battery is fully discharged.
- When I plug the power cord (laptop off) the led is orange (showing that it is charging), but after about 5 mins turns to white.
- if I power on the laptop, same issue, orange led for 5 mins and white after that.
- either way the battery takes no charge, as soon as I remove the cord the laptop blanks out.
I searched online and found other similar issues with various laptops running linux. In some cases, dual boot systems allows users to boot in Windows and fix the issue.
For non-dual boot, I found an interesting article about a BIOS setting on a laptop that allows for a ‘FelxiCharger’ setting to be activated which basically allows the BIOS to take over the management of the battery.
However, with coreboot, we don’t have such settings on Librems.
I am quite sure that this is not a hardware issue as the battery was wroking fine a week ago holding over 90% of its designed charge.
My coreboot version is,
>do dmidecode | grep Version: | head -n 1
Version: 4.6-a86d1b-Purism-4
so my question is, could an update to the latest coreboot fix this issue?
else is there an equivalent of the ‘FlexiCharge’ BIOS setting mentioned on the above-linked article with coreboot?
