		+	== Toshiba Satellites Not Reporting Battery Status==
		+	Some of the newer Toshiba Satellite laptops (L645-xxx, L655-xxx) do not properly report their battery state (or even the presence of a battery). This can be rectified with the following instructions (condensed from a posting at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=10385).<br>
		+	* Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
		+	cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/*
		+	If the battery is truly not reporting (and you don't just have an app panel problem) the output should read:
		+	present: no
		+	present: no
		+	present: no
		+	* Install the iasl package.
		+	sudo apt-get install iasl
		+	* Obtain the DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table).
		+	sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > DSDT.dat
		+	* Disassemble the DSDT.
		+	sudo iasl -d DSDT.dat
		+	* Open the DSDT for editing.
		+	sudo nano DSDT.dsl
		+	Press Ctrl + W to search the entire file for the line
		+	OperationRegion (EMEM, SystemMemory, 0xFF808001, 0xFF)
		+	Once you have located the line, modify it to read
		+	OperationRegion (EMEM, EmbeddedControl, 0×00, 0xFF)
		+	Press Ctrl + O then Ctrl +X to save and close the file.
		+	* Generate an updated DSDT.
		+	sudo iasl -tc DSDT.dsl
		+	*Copy the updated file to the boot directory.
		+	sudo cp DSDT.aml /boot
		+	*Create a script for GRUB to load the custom ACPI table. (Replace <code>leafpad</code> with <code>gedit</code> or your preferred text editor if leafpad is not present on your system.)
		+	sudo leafpad 01_acpi
		+	Copy the following text into the text editor window that appears.
		+	#! /bin/sh -e
		+
		+	#Load custom ACPI table
		+	GRUB_CUSTOM_ACPI="/boot/DSDT.aml"
		+
		+	# DON'T MODIFY ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE!
		+
		+	prefix=/usr
		+	exec_prefix=${prefix}
		+	libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
		+
		+	. ${libdir}/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib
		+
		+	# Load custom ACPI table
		+	if [ x${GRUB_CUSTOM_ACPI} != x ] && [ -f ${GRUB_CUSTOM_ACPI} ] \
		+	&& is_path_readable_by_grub ${GRUB_CUSTOM_ACPI}; then
		+	echo "Found custom ACPI table: ${GRUB_CUSTOM_ACPI}" >&2
		+	prepare_grub_to_access_device `${grub_probe} --target=device ${GRUB_CUSTOM_ACPI}` \| sed -e "s/^/ /"
		+	cat << EOF
		+	acpi (\$root)`make_system_path_relative_to_its_root ${GRUB_CUSTOM_ACPI}`
		+	EOF
		+	fi
		+	Save the file and close the text editor (Ctrl + S then Ctrl + Q).
		+	* Make the script executable and place it in the correct directory to be added to GRUB.
		+	chmod +x 01_acpi
		+	sudo cp 01_acpi /etc/grub.d
		+	* Update GRUB with the custom table.
		+	sudo update-grub2
		+	* Reboot the system; the battery should now be indicated!
