I have the same problem appear suddenly on my Dell 1420. The battery manager does not work correctly any longer. If I run the laptop on battery power, it will not charge after I plug it back in. Once plugged- in, it says I am fully charged at some percentage (which drops each time I unplug). If I r

PeterL: you won't find this key in your gconf, since battery profiles were introduced in version 2.19.x (I assume you're using some 2.18.x version). I'm not sure what could be the cause, but if you're using some 2.18.x version, you can discard battery profiles being the problem. -- Laptop Battery
