We support about all types of ThinkPad from 300 series onwards. We have had many reports from users about dud batteries. Even swapping with known good batteries does not seem to solve the problem with many of these ThinkPads. The answer seems to be to return the ThinkPad to IBM if it is still under warranty. On many an occasion, IBM have denied there being a problem, yet it magically seems to be fixed when the system is return. From experience the problems seem to be 50/50 between battery and ThinkPad problems. -- Rajesh Varia raj@c4rv.demon.co.uk
