I did experience the same thing again (as explained in the "nuts"-thread), =
i.e., battery won't charge. I have a sneaky suspicion that it won't charge =
once the battery goes below a certain level (I know that my battery didn't =
charge when I went to 8%). So I have to pull out the battery and put it bac=
k in in order to charge it. Haven't messed with any BIOS or Embedded Contro=
ller updates. It's an R51.
