Does not work with X230T #236

Hi,

Few months ago I bought new battery for my X230T, physically it looks exactly like the old one, initially it's detected fine although drained pretty quickly. Then I don't use the laptop since then. Recently I notice that the battery indicator always says 'Laptop battery is charging 0,0%' but no progress from there.

So I did the following to patch:

  1. Install BIOS patch patched.x230t.img.
  2. Upgrade BIOS from 2.55/1.12 to 2.73/1.14.

Installing patch went smooth with message "Flashing Embedded Controller... Please do not power off" after reboot, I've changed the boot to Legacy, even reinstall the patch, but still no luck.

Is there any way to know that it's the battery that's problematic?

Best regards, Setya
