    I have a problem with the main battery on my thinkpad.

    In the battery meter is it showing 77%. It will neither take any more of a charge, nor is is capable of running the laptop. If I unplug with only the main battery in (and not my ultrabay backup) it just turns off (not standby, or soft off, just a straight crash)

    Does this sound like there is a problem in power transfer somewhere, or the battery is truly toast?

    Thanks,

    M
