Re: Problems with my System 76 Laptop.

[Dhruva Lokegaonkar via PLUG-discuss]

I took the battery off. Same issues. When i was in the bios and the
orange light started blinking, the buzzer also beeped along with the
light. The temps are all in the 70s or lower range. Could it be a power
supply problem? The house does have a grounding issue I think.

Re: Problems with my System 76 Laptop.

[Ryan Petris via PLUG-discuss]

If it is in fact a battery issue, a quick search says that the Galago Pro is a 
Clevo N130BU, of which plenty of eBay results turn up for a battery: 
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Clevo+N130BU+battery

You'll probably want to pop it open to confirm the model number before you 
order though.

Re: Problems with my System 76 Laptop.

[Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss]

I'll second that, probably battery related.  Or overheating, install
psensor and check?

Not sure if they give spec for what batteries they use, ideally something
fairly generic, but you can probably find a replacement easy enough and
diy.  My xps15 started getting weird, then noticed I couldn't use the
trackpad locally on it because the battery was bulging and wanted to
explode.  Replacing it made all that go away, but being a dell meant easy
to come by replacements - not sure how standard an oem unit system76
uses...

Always the challenge with smaller companies if you have to go back to them
for parts vs. finding it on ebay or alibaba or local.

Re: Problems with my System 76 Laptop.

This could be the problem. acpi says
`Battery 0: Charging, 82%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge.`
I'll try this and update.

Re: Problems with my System 76 Laptop.

[Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss]

you can check the bios and see if there is a setting to disable the
battery. what can happen if the battery is old enough or just that bad the
laptop will try to trickle charge it and fail because of an error. the
shutdown is a protective measure.

you can also open the bottom and track down the battery plug and disconnect
it if the above is not an option.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

Problems with my System 76 Laptop.

[Dhruva Lokegaonkar via PLUG-discuss]

Hey,

My galago pro is acting weird. It runs for a few minutes, then the power
led starts blinking orange, and then it shuts down. The battery is
pretty much dead. But it was working fine on AC power. Any ideas what it
could be? Its 2.5 years old. I'm in India right now so I cannot set it
to system 76 for repairs.

I can prevent the shutdown by putting the laptop to sleep and waking it
up buy i have to keep doing it every other minute as the orange light
start blinking within 2 min.
