BSOD and restart with faulty battery?
Hi group.
This one is making me hum the "X Files" theme... I did some routine tests on an IBM Thinkpad TP600, and on the next reboot it failed with a blue screen. Figuring that something in Windows had broken I restarted in Safe Mode and this worked fine. Determining that the battery light flashing continuously and the machine not running at all from battery power was probably not normal, I removed it. Interestingly, the laptop runs fine (windows came up with "recovered from serious error") with the battery out. I've done some tests on the battery and it appears to be shorted (0.0V on the terminals, probably been in storage too long) Has anyone else ever seen this symptom? Regards, -A add an e to the instrument to email |
