Ok, looking at that powertop output shows it is PERFECT. Hell, it is even better than mine! Extremely low number of wake ups and a LONG time in C4 sleep.

This points 1 of 3 possibilities (AFAICT).

1. Your old battery is f******.

2. There is some run away process that is working that is not present after a reboot and your in offline mode.

3. You have a serious hardware problem.


How old is your battery? Is it an official battery? How many times has it been charged over it's lifetime? Ten times? A thousand?

Have you received your SCUD battery yet? Does the problem persist?

What other **** have you installed, from you description it would imply you have or are considering dual booting meego? Have you installed power kernel, power kernel settings, etc?

Before we jump to the conclusion of hardware fault, I would recommend a COMPLETE reflash. However that is the last step.


Right now I am leaning towards dud battery.
