 Hello,
 I have a G1G1 machine.
 Tonight it was running on batteries for 4 hours or so - red battery light
 was on - about 10% left at the time.
 I was testing turning off the wifi for an upcoming trip and after renaming
 the usb8388.bin file in the lib/firmware directory to usb8388.bin.quiet, i
 did a reboot by selecting the reboot option in the hover menu over the XO
 icon.

 When it rebooted - the battery showed at 90%.

 A few minutes later the unit shutdown

 this seems similar to other reports of the battery thinking it's full -
 when it's not.

 it there a fix for this?

 thanks

 neil
