Re: Bad value with w83627thf

["Oliver Pinter" <oliver.pntr@gmail.com>]

Hi Jean!

sorry for the bad ML.

the battery is CR2032, and it is 3V, im older kernel alway reported
bad value 0,02V or 2,4V (i think it is a possible value), after i
inserted new battery, show 2,4V.
from the 2.6.26-rcX kernel showed the 3+ V. when i reboot to older
kernel, the this state remained, but when turned off the pc, then not.
