Good points. In this case, because my 3.2 install failed, I had just updated to 
the latest March-17 BIOS from Lenovo yesterday. And the BIOS has a way to 
temporarily disable the internal battery, which I had done along with removing 
the main battery and unplugging - and it was like that for about 10 minutes 
while I switched the SSD back to MATE. But it didn't exorcise the ghost.
