@Colin, see comment #5 to answer your question in #3.
Again, all of our lenovos have the key combo fn+f3 as the battery key. If this helps at all (I don't know how relevant this is to you), that key combo for the lenovo w530 works as expected on precise 12.04.1. Please let me know what you'd like me to try next.
