Close enough? I wouldn't say that. Which value does the BIOS report exactly? BTW, you never clearly reported all exact voltage values reported by the BIOS. This would help a lot. If you stay in the BIOS long enough to spot more than one value for each voltage, this can help deduce scaling factors. > Both "in3" and "in4" are "unknowns" to me.

It's too close to the ADC's high limit to be useful. And the dme1737 driver now shows has one more voltage value than your BIOS does, right? > Checking the BIOS screen for this machine shows the "V+1.5" reading out a > steady ~1.5V. 1.5 V is quite different from 1.44 V, so either it's not in7, or the scaling factor of 2 isn't correct. Anyway, it beats me why the manufacturer would scale down a voltage which it could monitor directly. Very odd. > Also, a comment for Jean.

I wonder why. Or perhaps I don't understand what "VBAT" is > supposed to measure. Vbat is measuring the voltage at the Vbat pin of the chip, which is supposed to be connected to the battery. Now it is possible that the board designer decided to also connect +3.3V or 3VSB there, so that the battery is only used when other power sources aren't available, to extend the battery's life. This makes sense, but makes monitoring of Vbat useless, of course. This would explain the relatively high Vbat value. CR2032 batteries are rated at 3.0V, not 3.3V. > Finally, for good measure I ran "depmod -a" and rebooted the machine.
