Hi

I had some battery issues and in a move of extreme brilliance, I de-installed the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Method Battery Control driver in the window 7 device manager.

 

Upon reboot it did not re-install.  This is a huge pain and I seem unable to find a way of getting it re-installed.

 

When I do "scan for hardware changes"  windows starts "Installing device driver software"  but it unable to find this driver.  It comes up with "Unidentified Device"

 

I would be VERY happy to download and manually install this again.  Right now the battery seems to work but I have NO idea how much charge it has...  and I can't turn it on in the Notification Center.  The "Power" option is grey'ed out in the systems options.

 

Any advise or help would be most greatly appreciated!

 

Ian

If I just replace the battery with a new one will that fix it?
