[ltp] battery dead?

After a resume from a successful hibernation under
linux, my battery keeps reporting 0% charge. I'v put
on AC power for half a day and the battery light
keeps flashing every several minutes. It seems
no charging has been done.

Any suggestion other than buying a new battery?

Some facts:
. It's a Thinkpad 600X.
. It's redhat limbo beta.
. I seldom use it without AC power.
. I removed AC power before hibernation (otherwise
  it won't hibernate).
. The linux is installed on the ultrybay second HD.
. The hibernation partition is on the internal
  first disk which was mostly spined down until
  hibernation time.

thanks a lot
