I have had a problem with not being able to reliably perform a non-disruptive battery swap on my 701cs since I bought it almost exactly one year ago. This problem has resisted four attempts to Easyserv to fix and still it persisted. I just recently sent it to customer relations so, get this, they could send it to easyserv. Any how I haven't gotten it back yet but I got a message on my answering machine from an IBM tech who says it's not a hardware problem but instead due to Win95 APM. He said that disabling APM has solved it. Well I'm extremely sceptical about this as this problem has persisted since I first bought the machine and they haven't done anything different to it this fifth time. Coupled with the fact that I've only recently upgraded to Win 95 and I've had the same problem consistenly in DOS, OS/2 Warp, and win3.1. So it sounds like IBM is trying to feed me a line so it relieves them of the burden. Not to mention the fact that win95 is supposedly "ThinkPad Proven." I would like to know if anyone else has had any problems performing a non-disruptive battery swap (putting the computer into suspend and then swapping out the battery and merely opening the lid to unsuspend). More importantly I'd like to know if anyone running Win95 with APM enabled, has had any problems like this, or rather if they have had no problems doing this. -Greg A.
