[ltp] Thinkpad 600e - Jumpy (zooming) mouse and CMOS battery

[Bert Haskins]

I haven't any experience with a 600, but with different models of 760s, 380s, 390s,and 770s
I've cured different mouse problems by cleaning and reinserting the mouse ribbon cables.
Check your HMM for the location on your machine.
Good luck,
