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!

but please only post each problem one time as it makes it harder to keep track of progress. I'm sure someone with more thinkpad knowledge then me with show up soon.
