Was mostly so people looking into this post don't get confused.
wow after inserting charger it jumpedfrom 12 to 18 in just 2 - 3 mins ;000
Motherboard is kinda irrelevant in this case, as we're dealing with a pre-built machine, specifically a laptop.
As for huge power consumption issue, it might be related to DSDT, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051 other factors may include things like,
- CPU throttling, or lack thereof,
- Intensive software running, which bogs down either the CPU or whatever other resources that makes it consume excessive power. Generally this is known as I/O heavy tasks, and it could be anything, affect anything,
- Incorrect power profiles, e.g. having max backlight especially for laptops, having USB devices that consume lots of power attached directly to the laptop, etc.
There's not enough information, so basic answer is provided.
This guide will help you fix your DSDT file to fix common ACPI problems on any Debian based OS. With Mint 6/Ubuntu 8.10, I started having a lot of problems with my laptop thermal temps, and not wanting to boot without holding down a keyboard key. This was in my case because of a buggy DSDT file. To read more about ACPI/DSDT go here: http://forum...
i don't have backlit keyboard, screen brightness is setted to very low, I don't know what CPU throttling is / thereof, i don't think there is buggy DSDT file, because temp is much lower than it was on windows, i just have discord sitting in background, whole day, and google chrome playing my lecture vedeos, nothing else, (vs code on weekends, for some typescript and nodejs projects)
