There was a driver issue mentioned in the thinkpad forums dealing with the laptop crashing with the battery in but not when there was no battery. Never effected me so I never really paid much attention to the issue though but I know it didn't involve any batteries that were bad. I think they said I bios update helped, but not sure
-----Original Message----- I appear to have a laptop that locks up when the battery (which appears to be refusing to charge up) is in the machine. If I remove the battery, the laptop comes back to life, and if I boot without the battery installed, there's no lockup at all.) Is it possible a bad battery could do this? T
