IBM ThinkPad I Series battery problem
This is my first post. I hope somebody can help me.
I have a IBM thinkpad 1300. It has a Li-ion battery. I tried to refresh the battery so that I could recharge it completely. Now I can't get the system to boot with the batery in it. When I turn the systme on with the ac plugged in and the battery in, the green battery light just flashes and the fan comes and it clicks, all in a cycle as if its still trying to come on. The system boots fine with no battery (just the ac), but the minute I put the battery in, I get the problem. There is no way to use or charge the battery. I also bought a new battery, but it wouldn't charge properly either and eventually just drained. I am running WIN2K and WINXP (dual boot). However it never gets to the operating system. BTW, there is no power managment feature in the BIOS. HELP!
