Quite a few threads on the 'net on the subject - including one calling the lack of a system battery a "design flaw". I made the mistake of allowing my BodhiBook to languish long enough to kill the internal battery and will now have to do a reload - I removed ChromeOS completely, but at least I followed the instructions for making a recovery stick. I think I'm going to wait for the 3.0 iso and this time do a remastersys (or something) just in case.
