Lenovo T61 - The Battery is too hot, run! July 6, '07 Comments [12] Posted in Musings Sponsored By I swear I can break any computer just by being in the room. You do realize, Dear Reader, that these crazy message boxes and errors that I bring to you week after week are real, screenshoted from my own machines, unmodified. Some of these things are just unreal. Like, I have to look around sometimes for the hidden camera because I MUST be on TV. Today, the IBM Craplet Message Center had these choice tidbits for me. The next messages let me know a battery error is detected? What kind of error could that be? Did it suddenly STOP being a battery? Then, seconds later, "irreparable damage" was detected. Who or what service detected this? Not just regular damage, mind you, but irreparable damage. Then, I'm told it's too hot. Hm. Feels find. No fever or anything. Either way, I removed it because I don't want my ThinkPad to explode like Alan Cox's did. Best part: Notice the "Advertising" message from 14-Mar telling me to pick up some of these great ThinkPad batteries. Welcome to my life. I hate computers some days. « Hanselminutes Podcast 71 - Windows Home ... | Blog Home | Home Page, Category, and Item Paging in ... » About Scott Scott Hanselman is a former professor, former Chief Architect in finance, now speaker, consultant, father, diabetic, and Microsoft employee.
