Battery failure?

So its been a few months since ive booted up my AA1, and i was getting ready to install ubuntu on it.. but now ive realized that my battery either isnt charging or that its not switching over to it when unplugged.. the icon says fully charged, but as soon as i remove AC its shuts down.. Any ideas?

 

batteries do have a tendency to go bad. This happens more frequently than we like.

for an example my Dell laptop battery lasted me a whole 3 months before it died. I had to run it plugged in. I would suggest swapping the battery and testing. If it still does it than there might be something else causing this.

but first step troubleshooting is see if you borrow a battery that fits from a friend or take it to the store and test it..

 

does anyone know how to get the acpi command to work in limpus lite?

 

My battery is doing the same, it seems to be charging but when i unplugged the AC cable it shouts down. I did a full restore whithout the battery plugged in, any ideas of what i did?

 

I called Acer in Mexico City and they told me to take it to a Repair Center... Damn

Update

( I will try to do this in my best english)

I take out the battery and then look something really suspcious, there was a little part of dark plastic where the plug in electrical terminals of my AAO are. Then i saw that one of the golden metallic plugs of the AAO was twisted and in my batterie i saw that one of the plastic part that matches the golden metallic plugs was broken, if you see this parts they're really small.. how on earth they broke? i dunno... But check yours.

 

glad to hear im not alone.. any one else having this problem?

my system info; as far as i know i have one of the original batch of AA1 in the linux variety.. standard battery
i just checked under settings>system info and it shows my battery as 0mAh.. that seems troubling..

mdgo80.. is yours the same? maybe there is a trend..

 

Same problem here.. Battery shows fully charged and the charging led blinks slowly orange. As soon as i remove the charger it dies. Any more with the same problem?

 

I've the Blue AAO with Linpus and 120 Gb... Check the physical status of your batteries my friends maybe you broke them puting them back in...

 

So ive never removed my battery since my initial setup.. but i just looked at it and it looks perfect.. any other ideas?
