Hi to all !
I have a laptop, where the battery is not charging any more.
Obviously there's nothing wrong physically with that battery, only BatteryData seem to be messed up
by an erroneous Win7-Version, as described here:
"Akku-Tod durch Windows 7 ???"
http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/83254-Akku-Tod-durch-Windows-7?highlight=Akku-Tod"T400 Akku selber reparieren"
https://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/185183-T400-Akku-selber-reparieren(Sorry, but that's all in German.)
Now, I'm looking for a solution to read out
all BatteryData and correct invalid Entries,
with the battery plugged
in, that is
with
out the need to buy lots of equipment or disassemble the battery, as shown here:
http://be2works.com/This solution should be able to reset flags, like the 'Permanent Failure Flag', too.
-> Does anybody know, how to do it under Windows (32bit) and/or in the BIOS ?
BTW:
Getting the batterie's 'ChargingState' and 'Lifetime left' in Windows is already shown here:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,16734.msg91289.html#msg91289-> What else can be read out with the Window-API's 'GetSystemPowerStatus()' ?
Thanks !
