SYMPTOMSWhile displaying a low percentage rate of remaining battery life, the Battery Meter utility reports that the battery status is HIGH.
CAUSEThis problem occurs when the system has an advanced power management (APM) BIOS version 1.0 installed. Because the BIOS returns the wrong information when it is called, the Battery Meter utility reports battery status HIGH when the battery is actually low.

RESOLUTIONContact Compaq Corporation for information regarding an upgrade to the latest version of the APM BIOS.
