I have some really similar problems with my Asus N56VV, I can confirm that battery is not charging when is blinking red LED, first time with this bug, will after selecting OS (Ubuntu gnome 13.04 32bit or Linux Mint 15 32Bit) fan will go to the maximum, Fn keys are working and one way to solve this is remove battery. Loading windows after this bug will reduce fan speed but battery will not be charging (if was discharged). As on webpage, there is no other bios update and i have the leatest now...
