[solved-ish?]tp_smapi charge thresholds not charging

heleos · 2011-09-12 01:51:59

I've searched the forums, followed the wiki, but can't find an answer to my problems.

I recently bought a used T60p, did the start charge at 40% and the stop charge at 80%.

Right now, my battery is at 43%, so it should be charing normally, but acpi says the following:

[heleos@thinkpad ~]\$ acpi
Battery 0: Unknown, 43%

The battery does not charge as I think it should. When I modprobe -r tp_smapi, the battery begins to charge.

I'm kind of at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong, so if anyone does know, chime in please! Thanks
