Comment 168 for bug 22336

Hi Len,

Running without the battery I have not been able to reproduce the issue. So I'm even more baffled, although perhaps my having cleaned out the fan is helping too - maybe I should try watching some videos for a while with the battery removed. My problem seems to have gone away, but since I have no idea what caused it in he first place, and it showed a complete lack of dependency on my particular Ubuntu installation (problem still existed with CD), I can't say it won't come back, either. In any case, I'll do whatever I can to contribute to research on this issue.

Output of acpitool -e while battery removed:
