[ltp] Suggestions for thinkpad repair

[Harry Mangalam]

Thanks Rob,

I phoned IBM to ask for suggestion and they were nice enought to tell me that my TP was STILL under warranty (!) and then did what you described.  It's gone to that big repair depot in the sky and
should return by end of week.  If everything turns out to be covered, I'll be one very happy camper.  

By the way, it looks like there was something terminal about my TP's charging /battery regulation system.  It wouldn't boot without a battery in and not even new batteries could be charged.
