    Yesterday, I was sitting with legs up in a sofa with my AC-plugged sz150, rear edge, where a battery is, was on my legs and the front edge on my belly. After couple of minutes I got an error message indicating a kind of battery problem (battery needs to be checked and unplugged) and XP went into hybernation right away. I took off the battery than plugged it back, restarted. After few minutes the same thing again....
    Looks like my battery is loosing conection in its port. Working on a table does not make any problem.
    Just wondering if anybody have this kind of problem?

    Also, when the sz is on AC, the battery indicator on system tray shows 100% but still charging. battery LED's are not flashing. Is it ok or am I just paranoid?

    Normal... Do a search to verify...

    I use mine on my lap 98% of the time, and I have never experienced this... Don't know what to tell you other than possibly use the foam on the side of battery trick, also talked about extensively on the forums...
