I woke up this morning, and tried to boot my X60, no go. I had to plug it in to get it working.

Now it shows 98% charge, but if i hover over the little battery icon it says "irreperable damage to the battery detected, replace with a new one"



What the crap could have happened? it was sitting on a desk all night.

 

it wasn't on all night, right?

was it plugged into the wall at all?

do you transport it around?

 

warranty?

 

Yeah, it was plugged in, but not turned on. And it was sitting on the desk all night, didn't even move it before i turned it on.

 

could have been a random power surge. :hs:

 

power surge that is big enough to damage the battery logic will easily fry the laptop not to mention the ac charger.

my guess is that it's just a bad battery. aren't ibms/lenovos warranted for 3 years?

 

Could be, I got it from a co-worker about a year ago.

I'll see if it's under warrenty.

 

is it a DELL?

 

No, it's an IBM/Lenovo X60 tablet

The computer is under warrenty, i called and they said the battery warrenty only lasts for a year.

The rest of the computer is under warrenty untill 09/2010

Bastards.

 

wow that sucks but i guess that's the standard these days.
