    Have a R32 Type: 2658-G6G.

    The problem is it will not turn on using the power button but if I press the space bar or press down around the red-blue-red buttons it powers up but as soon as I take my hand away it goes off.

    I think it is something simple but cannot get to the root of it.

    Have totally disassembled and reassembled following the instructions in the ThinkPad R32 Hardware Maintenance Manual | Here… http://download.lenovo.com/ibm.....2r2914.pdf to no avail. Please help – thanks!

    Lee,

    I have a T20 that is working OK with AC adapter but can’t start from a good battery alone. Could you please pin point how to fix this

    That sounds like a problem with the motherboard. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do. You’ll have to replace the motherboard or use the laptop as is.

    marius,

    My ibm z60m does not show anything on the screen. It comes on, but nothing happens further.I note that it gives me an error code 3143, but cannot find anthing on the web.

    How do you know the error code is 3134 if nothing appears on the screen? I searched through the hardware maintenance manual for ThinkPad Z60m but didn’t find this error code.

    David H,

    I have an IBM Thinkpad R50e running on OEM batteries. Recently, when I switch from AC to battery power (unplug the cord with computer running), after a few minutes, the computer freezes and I need to reboot to get it started. Computer also appears to be running slower

    Could this be due to installation of Microscoft Windows Updates or issues with the OEM (non original battery). The computer ran fine with these batteries for over a year.

    What happens if you start the laptop from the battery when the AC adapter is unplugged? Will if freeze too or it happens only when you unplug the adapter while the laptop is running?

    Try booting the laptop in Safe mode? Will it happen is Safe mode too?
