you are lieing. 10 hours battery life watching videos
We do the battery test at 120 nits brightness (rather low) and only VLC running, so if you are using the laptop with other programs and at higher brightness, you should expect less battery life.
May I ask do you know the location of the BIOS chip on this model GA402?
