[ltp] Dead Battery

[manaen]

I recently toasted the charging circuit on my motherboard (tp600).  The 
only way to fix it was to replace the motherboard.  The thinkpad's boot 
behavior was very similar to what you described.  Hopefully its simply a 
dead battery, which will produce the same problems, as mentioned in the 
earlier reply.

Cheers
