I have a R32. When I charge the yellow/amber blinking battery light
below the screen eventually after a few hours turns green, which means
my battery should be fine and raedy to go. But when I disconnect my
power plug, the battery light goes back to blinking amber and after
about 10 minutes or so will go kaput completely. Happens with different
batteries. Anybody know how I can repair this problem? I used a
long-life 8 hour batter this summer for a while but have since gottn
rid of it. Did that long-life battery permanently ruin my thinkpad's
ability to charge a regular battery? Just a theory. Thoughts.
