This bug needs reporting. Can you check whether it is one of these 
existing bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/163678
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/164527

If so, please comment there, and if required change the status from 
"unknown" to "confirmed".

If not, please can you raise a new bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug

I'll see if this also affects my Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop when I get 
home later, so please let me know the bug number you report.
