    my f3jp arrived today, i started to charge it, the battery charging light indicator near the touchpad came on, after few hrs, it disappeared, i then turned it on, and the battery icon next to clock in task bar is not there?

    is this normal or should the battery icon always be in the task bar next to clock? the battery and ac power are still plugged in.

    havent had chance to play around with it yet, but externally everything looks ok so far =]

    by default, the battery meter is not shown on AC power.

    That is precisely what I said. Your situation is normal.
