I've updated the DSDT files on my web server concerning the maximum and 
last known capacity of the battery: Both are now set to the default 
value of 4000 mAh, so there's no longer a need for you to change anything.

You can now skip this part and directly use
http://www.ettelbrueck.de/linux-acpi/compaq-evo-n160/acpi_dsdt.c

I found the patch I used to make my kernel use my fixed DSDT. You can 
download it from
http://www.ettelbrueck.de/linux-acpi/compaq-evo-n160/acpi_use_own_dsdt-2.4.20.diff

These two steps are obviously still needed ;-)

Kind regards
