The problem is that if i try this, the battery soon tells the computer
(even at 70%) thta it is empty and the machine shuts down.
And, by the way, I did the battery 1.2 update. Is it related, but
when I open my session, an alert window tells me that "no device has
been found to be updated" ?????????
