ACPI says temp is 256C
On my laptop (HP 6735s) 'acpi -t' tells me the temperature is 256C
(critical). It obviously isn't; the laptop feels quite cool and it is
working normally. Is this a bug in acpi or what?

My laptop tells me the temperature is 105C and does a critical shut down
when it means the battery is low! Ubuntu 8.04.

Identifying the sensors and/or scale factors seems to involve a lot of
guesswork as it's not very standardised. Most systems I've used the
sensors software on (when it works at all) get the system and CPU
temperature muddled up at least, and some voltages are flagged as
"critical" when I'm sure they aren't.
That's on desktops - I'm sure laptops could be even worse.

Have you tried rebooting then going into the bios to see what's
reported there? (most bios provide a ACPI reporting screen)

It isn't available on the bios of this machine.

Today, for some reason, acpi -t seems to be working correctly; it shows
the temperature to be 46 C initially, later 50 C. I'm not sure why,
though I seem to have seen an upgrade of acpi recently.
