I have bought an ezbook 2 and installed Fedora 28. Unfortunately I have problems with the battery (INT33F4).
Specifically, I'm unable to charge my laptop with Fedora running. The charging light is blinking red, irrespective of wheter the AC charger is plugged in or not. I can only charge the battery with the computer fully off, and it behaves normally (red stable led when charging, no light when fully charged).
After reading some threads about it https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9687331/ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895129 , it seemed that the support for it would be available in Kernel 4.18 (currently only in Fedora rawhide) so I upgraded my kernel and modprobed the drivers axp288_fuel_gauge
and axp288_charger
. After rebooting nothing new happened, and the battery still doesn't charge with Fedora booted.
I also tried to install tlp
with no success (same situation as before).
Did someone experience the same situation? What can i do next to be able to charge my laptop while working with it? Thanks a lot.
I'm providing here the output of some commands when the battery should be charging (AC connected):
