Try to find out which component eats power, eg. by opening the machine
searching for heat.

(And yes, your hw is broken; on pc it is traditionaly hw
responsibility to power machine down.)

OK, I try do this but I think this is very difficult because demand
power is very low and is not enought to do hot some component. But I
will try.

I don't think that my hardware is broked because I don't have this kind
of problem on Kernel <=2.6.22 or in other OS.

And other user have the same problem (cc'ed on Bug #10797)

Best regards,

Something changed in the laptop vendor's minds about this since Vista.
Very new ThinkPads also had this problem (I am not sure it has been
fixed already or not).

We may have to start shutting down every device and bus on our way out
for lunch when told to go into S5, now. Time will tell.

Can you try to find out when that started happening?

does it still happen with acpi=off ?

does it each too much power if you use 4second hold of power button to
shut it down from running linux?

With acpi=off this problem don't happening, but a lot of other problem
happening (as fan control).

I will try halt my laptop holding power button today and report you
tomorrow.

If I hold power button to force shutdown I don't have this problem with
battery charge.

Too bad, I can't call the hw terminally broken, then.

If you boot into init=/bin/bash (minimum drivers) will it still
consume too much power after sysrq-o?

No, just the ACPI firmware :-)

I hold power button to force shutdown and start with init=/bin/bash, but
this problem still exist :-(
