I have installed the "battery check" utility that is listed on the 765D ThinkPad page. A few times it has complained that there is no battery installed when I boot in a Dock II or with an adapter plugged it. That utility obviously thinks that the battery isn't in so I suspect that there is a connection problem somewhere in the 765D. I have usually shutdown, pulled out the battery, reinserted it, closed the keyboard, and then it (ususally) boots OK without the warning. This is under NT4 (SP3) or Warp 4 with FP1 and current BIOS and drivers from the IBM site. Stuart Stuart F.
