Christopher,

No changes after BIOS flash (bummer). Here is the output from the command:

A171FIMS V1.11
09/25/2009

Notes:
- In power settings, "Show battery status in the menu bar" remains blank
- I ran the acpi command and still get "Battery 0: Unknown, 99%" (on battery or on power)
- The indicator icon is working (for now) - switches to the battery vs ac power icon when I unplug or plug power. However it does temporarily work on occasion (usually after Ubuntu updates and stops working later) so I'm doubtful this is related to the BIOS. As noted above, actual battery status monitoring is still not functional.

* I also booted to Win7 and tried MSI's Live Update. It had updates (which I downloaded) for some Mother Board drivers as follow: NVidia MCP 15.56, Realtek HD Audio Drivers 6.0.1.6473, and Realtek PCIE Network Drivers 7.48.823.2011. I have *NOT* installed them yet as I prefer not to mess with the MB unless instructed to do so (ie if it can fix the current problem).

**This is embarassing, but I noticed I failed to mention in my initial "Bug Description" that this is a dual boot machine: Win7/Ubuntu. Don't know if that would affect any troubleshooting.
