ThinkPad 380Z Keeps Shutting Down!
The ThinkPad 380Z that I inherited has a dead battery. I had been running the laptop with an adapter just fine, when all of a sudden it slowly shut down on me, and I couldn't re-start it until much later (it's running under Win 98 SE).
And it keeps shutting down on me… The Suspend Mode Indicator Light stays on for long periods, even when unplugged--does this mean the Z380 settings cause it to shut down like that (in Suspend or Hibernate mode)? While it’s shut down, hitting the Fn key does no good, nor does unplugging it for 60 seconds and plugging it back in. Thanks for any responses.... |

Will it run if you remove the battery?

No...but I did borrow another ThinkPad adapter from a friend, and the 380Z ran
OK with that. The 380Z adapter that I ordered from Bargain Basement Batteries turned out to be defective. I won't be ordering anything from them again, in this lifetime.... Thanks for your response. |
