Seeing as I now have a laptop that won't resume, set the lcd brightness or even charge it's own battery, gnome-power-manager development is on hold. I can't afford to trade in this laptop and buy something else before I start work in September, so 2.19.x development is effectively frozen.

My Lenovo 300 N100 laptop is now not charging the battery. The laptop also won't turn on when on battery power alone as the cell is 0% charged. Removing and reinserting the battery sometimes makes it charge for a few seconds only.

This laptop is a hunk of shit.

EDIT: IT GETS WORSE. According to this lenovo document  the battery isn't covered under the warranty. This laptop is less than 6 months old…
