[SOLVED] charging + touchpad problem after update

*******EDIT*******
after trying some other live cds, the problems below are almost certainly hardware related, with timing of update coincidental.
********************

hi all,

I have a Asus UX32VD. I was travelling for a few weeks and updated when I got home, including the kernel to 3.10.44

now the battery stops charging around 50% (tried two chargers at two different locations)

$ acpi -i
Battery 0: Charging, 48%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge.
Battery 0: design capacity 5863 mAh, last full capacity 4920 mAh = 83%

also the touchpad stopped working entirely (was not recognized in 'xinput list') but after some searching I blacklisted i2c-hid, which seems to have helped, but the touchpad still sometimes becomes unresponsive (especially when unplugging/plugging in power) and leaves the following in the journal:

I'm also having some other smaller issues that I'll work on before asking about. I tried rolling back the kernel back to before the update but it didn't change the charging behaviour or help with the touchpad. I'm going to try rolling everything  serious-looking back but wanted to post first in case anyone has any ideas.

thanks for the help, and please let me know anything else required.

I have the same problem with the touchpad. It stopped working after update.
