Hello all,
I seem to remember seeing John Kim mentioning a similar problem
with his 701 on comp.sys.laptops, but not recieving any answer.
Synopsis:
My system has lately, on an intermittent basis, been shutting off
with the claim that the battery's discharged, despite displaying an
almost full charge only seconds before. I called IBM tech Monday, and
they seem to feel I'd set up conflicting parameters in the BIOS. (I
recently flashed up to 3o). While I did have battery mode set for
Power Saver with sound, pcmcia, and modem off and AC mode for
everything on and processor set to 25/50, I don't see how that could
cause a problem.
I shuffled the settings and things have been fine until today, when
the laptop again shut off moments after reading that it had a 1:16
charge left. Since then, it's been fine, but I called IBM and now
they want me to EZServe it.
To me, this doesn't sound like hardware, because the problem is
intermittent. It can't be the battery, I have to NiMHs and a "super"
NiCad and it's done this to all of them. One tech implied the system
isn't charging properly due to the DCD (?) card, and I have noticed
that I have to jiggle the adapter a little to get the charging light
to come on. Only other symptom I've noticed is occasional mouse
rebellion - occasionally, while scrolling a document, the screen keeps
scrolling after I stop clicking. Other times, during mouse-intensive
operations, the system has locked up and had to reboot. This as all
been since Monday.
Any input?

If you go into Fn-F1, there's a Battery Power Mode setting and an
External Power Mode setting. Depending on which mode the computer
is currently in, one of these will have just one line, the other
will have all its options fully listed. To modify the one-liner,
highlight it and hit Enter.
It's easy to miss because the two switch places if you change from
AC to battery or vice versa.
> Also is there any harm to leaving it on all the time?
I've been leaving mine plugged for weeks on end since December and
haven't noticed any degredation in battery life (measured with a
stopwatch, not Fn-F2). I did the same thing on my TP750 and killed
the battery within a month.

Fn+F1, then enter the settings for Battery Mode, scroll down to
External Power Mode and enter *those* settings. The main screen will
display which ever mode you're in, with just a line for the mode
that's inactive.

Ah, the return of the dreaded Supervisor password.
If you want to continue to use the machine and hard drive DO NOT REPLACE THE
SYSTEM BOARD! If you do the hard drive will never boot up again. In this
case 'shell' means bare system (basically the system board in case).
I have had a great deal of experience with those passwords on the machines.
The Supervisor password is basically a combination of a Hard Drive password
and a Power On password. If the shell has the same supervisor password as
the hard drive, it will boot up seamlessly. If you go into E-Z Setup you
will need the supervisor password to make any changes, but otherwise the
system will work fine. If you move the hard drive into another machine, it
will prompt you for a hard drive password, which is the supervisor password.
If you put another hard drive in the shell, you will need the supervisor
password, and then you will either have to clear it or add it to the new
hard drive to continue. This ensures that the machines will never be broken
up.
If the system board is replaced the supervisor password will be removed from
the shell, but not the hard drive. If the shell no longer has the
supervisor password, when you boot up it will prompt you for a hard drive
password. To date no one has cracked the hard drive passwords (alot of
talk, but no one has _done_ it). In the case below, the supervisor password
is not known, so the hard drive will be a paperweight if the system board
loses the password.
The supervisor password will allow you to get around the power on password
of the machine. The idea is that the supervisor configures the system, and
then gives it to the person. They put their own power-on password on, but
the supervisor can always get into the system. Currently I know that the
755's, 750's, and 760's all have this functionality. I know that the 700's,
720's, and 360's do not. You cannot have a hard drive password and a
supervisor password, as the supervisor password occupies the password
'location' on the hard drive. You will have to use a Power On password if
you want to have a password, as the system has 'space' for both of those.

Well, I was only responding to someone else who had the problem. I've
experienced it once though. I was on a plane and discharged a battery
until the computer auto-suspended. I replaced it with my second battery
and ran that to about 20%. When I got home, I completely charged the
second battery. I then popped in the first battery to charge it and was
surprised to see 100%. I turned it off and back on and it still said
100%. Furthermore, it wasn't charging.
I was certain I had only charged the second battery, but just to be sure
I popped it in. 100%, and I had only had time to charge one battery so
I knew the first battery was still discharged. I put the first battery
back in (still saying 100%) and let the computer sit. It seemed to be
discharging as if full, then 10 minutes later it went from 3:02 left to
0:00 and suspended.
After that, it recharged normally and I haven't had the problem again.
Since it's possible for the battery to say 100% when it isn't really at
100%, that might account for why it seems to die with 30+% or an hour
left. For some reason it thinks it's reached 100% charge when it's only
at 70%. That stops the battery from charging futher. Then when
discharging it estimates time from 100%, meaning the battery is drained
when the computer thinks there's 30% left. I'm rather curious how the
computer comes up with these numbers.

John,
Thanks for your comments. The implication seems to be that the 701
gets confused when you switch batteries. I've never encountered this
problem before, and only recently bought my 2 NiMHs, and it was just
in the past week that I first started using both, never needing more
than 3 hours at a time. So, how does the computer track power
available - the battery or the system? Maybe we've found a bug. Is
anyone regularly swapping batteries who's *never* had this happen?
PS: I'm going to post this to comp.sys.laptops for more replies.

You checked the front page of the deceased's daytimer and slips of
paper in his wallet and in the drawer of his desk? Safety-deposit
box?
If the supervisor password is supervisor-determined, you might
collect all the personal words of the deceased and hire somebody at
$8 an hour to enter them for a day. A $64 gamble. Children's names,
mother's maiden name, pet name, telephone number. We all saw the
movie War Games.
We all know that you're SUPPOSED to have a nonsensical password like
z%t#qbxt (interesting that these are all left hand keys...encryption
controlled by the right brain? Makes sense to me!), but how many of
us really do?
Could you find the password by appropriately reprogramming the EPROM
BIOS? Isn't it axiomatic that, given enough time and access, any
security measure can be defeated? Not that I'd know how.

Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960302025513.00676244@is.nyu.edu>
Hi folks,
I recently added a really nice NEC MultiSync 3FGe monitor to my 755cx/Dock
II setup and was disappointed with the refresh rate/flicker coming from the
onboard video circuitry in the 755, so I'm now considering trying run an ISA
card in the Dock which supports higher refresh rates. It so happens that
someone on the list asked about doing this recenly, and I recalled having
read about someone who managed to do it several months ago. Anyway, I
decided to dive into the archives anf find it. Here's the resulting
pertinant info:

Thanks Ted! I think I'm going to try and dig up one of these STB units.

just noticed after fishing around in dos, that c:\mwd directory
does not exist, though it is included in the path. should this
be there ?
the only devices my config.sys is loading as relating to sound is:
device=c:\mww\manager\mwdp0400.exe
autoexec has :
:games
set blaster = A220 I5 D1 T1
but msd.exe indicates that irq5 is assigned to LPT1: and is
not detected.
any help mooka appreciated !

Subject: ADMIN: open up the list to all thinkpads?
Message-Id: <199603021605.LAA24677@wilma.cs.utk.edu>
I propose changing the list to encompass all IBM ThinkPads.
The newer models are all worthy of discussion, even if they're
not close cousins to the tp750. While I'm still concerned
about confusion between different model lines, I can't think
of a good way to widen the list to include new models while
restricting the scope of the list to exclude completely wierd
things like the tp720. So maybe it's simpler to allow anything
with the name ThinkPad.
comments? objections? Send me private mail, so we don't clutter
up the list with meta-issues.

Message-Id: <2.2.32.19960302165846.006860f0@is.nyu.edu>
Hi again,
Now that my 755cx SVGA is truely serving as both a laptop and a pretty
damned good desktop replacement; (it has 32 megs RAM, 810 Meg internal HDD,
1 Gig external SCSI HDD, 4x SCSI CD-ROM, PCMCIA Ethernet, and NEC 3FGe 15"
Monitor), I wonder if it's really a good idea to treat it exactly as I would
treat a desktop system. That is, can I safely leave it up an running 24/7
as do with my desktop, or are there heat dissipation issues that would make
this a bad idea? I know that IBM doesn't really warrant these things for
"continuous operation" but I wish them luck enforcing such an exclusion.
Also, if I can leave the thing up all the time, should I leave its Li-Ion
battery inside, or remove it until such a time as I'm going on the hoof?
(Li-Ion bricks tend to lose charge fairly quickly if not used, so I would
like to leave it in if there's no harm done to the battery or the system.)
Thanks a bunch.

Hi,
I've finally taken the jump to linux. It installs fine on the 750C,
if you use the thinkpad bootdisk. Now, a while ago there was quite
a lot of linux issues here. Where have they moved? Is there a linux-tp
mailing list?
My current problem is with the APM and PCMCIA parts. Any comments?
(Oh btw, I'm running 1.3.68, APM is in the kernel.)
regards,
Erik
