    Hello everyone,
    I have an ACER Aspire 5670. Recently i installed windows vista business.
    From the day i installed vista my battery appears to be broken.
    Ok let's say battery cells were destroyed (Fedora installed on the same system report that battery may be dammaged)-So it may be destroyed in a couple of hours.

    The second weird thing is that it persists not to recognize one device. In the device manager it has a hardware ID: ACPI\SMCB000


    Third weird story. Today my notebook prompted that there was SP1 update available. I installed it (in 3 phases - 2together at shutdown and 1 after restart)
    After SP update my keyboard stopped working - same thing with touchpad. I uninstalled SP1, uninstalled synaptics driver and re-installed it - same thing.
    In a forum somewhere i read that battery causes these problems. I took battery off and now i am writing this message from my notebook's keybord ... :( touchpad still dead...

    Anyone facing same problems????

    Note that both keyboard and touchpad work perfectly in Fedora 9 and that usb mouse/keyboard work perfect too in Vista.

    Thanks in advace
