Re: [H] Bad battery in laptop causing lockups
Yes it can and from first hand experience can cause the keyboard to act funny. -Original Message- From: Thane Sherrington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dec 30, 2007 5:27 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Bad battery in laptop causing lockups 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 Mark Dodge
Re: [H] Bad battery in laptop causing lockups
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.
