Hi,
Short question: I lost my battery calibration after erase windows partition in a dual installation with Manjaro. My battery stop charging at 80%, then 60%, now it stops charging at 38% and I can’t find how to calibrate my battery without having to install windows again.
Also, but after that, trying to solve that issue, I think my BIOS is getting errors after updating it to the last version.
I bought my HP Pavilion x360 Convertible about 4 years ago, it came with windows 10. I used it in dual mode with GNU/Linux without any major issue related to battery until last october when I had to take it to the official HP local service desk to change my old battery.
They did the work and after that, an auto windows update stole my manjaro grub, so I had to recover it. After that episode I decided to erase Windows and use only Manjaro.
BUT, after erase all windows partition battery started to charge until 80%, then 60%, then 50%. So I tried to calibrate it, but I couldn’t because it seems THERE ISN’T any HP Support for Linux.
So, I reinstalled Windows 11 (not 10 that I had before). Installed HP Hardware Tool and recalibrated the battery. The app suggested to update my bios, and not listening my intuition, I updated it.
After that Windows nor Manjaro couldn’t hibernate because system stops, and turn off, When I put it on again BIOS says it is corrupted and suggest to recover. So I deactivated hibernation even when I close laptop.
After that, battery recalibrated but showing 80%. After that started to decrease “full charge” percentaje again. This happened in both systems, windows and Manjaro. I recalibrated couple of times again and it got better but not charging to 100% as before all that.
Then I concluded even windows couldn’t managed to recalibrate my battery.
Finally, I thought a new Manjaro fresh install over a formatted entire disk would solve the problem. I did it, Manjaro works very good, BUT, again, my battery stops charging at less and less percentaje. Again I’m at 38%. and I can’t hibernate. My battery charge doesn’t last more than the showed percentaje, so I think my battery doesn´t get full charge and show a false low %.
Questions:
About battery:
- ¿How can I calibrate my battery without having to install windows again?
About BIOS:
- I have an USB BIOS repair stick waiting to run, but I don’t want to take that risk because I know that It could brake my laptop and I need it to finish mi thesis. But I don’t know if it could resolve the issue and have to take the risk if it is the only possible solution.
Thanks in advance,
I only found this thread that could be related but it’s closed now:
