T60 charges battery but will not run on battery

Background:
T60 purchased on EBAY approx a month ago by my friend. I have been trying to solve his battery problem, and am out of ideas.
Battery charges appropriately.
Unit will not boot or run onbattery.  If running, and adapter pulled, it goes off immediately.
OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Things I have tried or verified:
Updated drivers from Lenovo support
Put T60 battery in my own R61E and the battery functions fine.  Discharge it a bit, put it back in the T60 and it charges but won't run.
Put my R61E battery in the T60, won't run.
Have uninstalled and installed the drivers.
Have checked driver files on the T60 against the driver files on my R40 and all files are the same size and date.
I have been through the Lenovo boards, but can't find a solution.  I am beginning to think it might be hardware.
Please say it isn't so.
Thanks
Art

It's OK, I'm not a spring chicken myself...
With that said, it sounds like some of the power circuitry on the T60's motherboard has been damaged. There's really no easy way of fixing this type of issue. Motherboard swap would likely be the least complicated route to take if you can't return the machine.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

    Hi,
    The whole battery may need to be replaced. Take it to your Apple Store and see what they have to say.

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding your Shift key down when booting. Also, try holding the eject key down when booting to eject the DVD. If you plug a mouse in and hold the clicker down when booting, that should eject the DVD.

  • Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.

    Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.
    I'm testing 32bit software that will run in 7-64 Pro but will not in win 7 home premium or vista.
    The 7-64 Pro machine is NOT running the program in XP mode although is is being run as admin. The 7 home premium and vista beta testers have tried every work around/mode, admin mode, and anti-virus exception. I've run process explorer & WinMerge to evaluate
    the differences between os operations & dlls loaded but am unable to find the OS issue.
    Currently 2-win7-64 machines, 1 vista machine and 1 win 7 machine had no issues with the program as it started up and ran immediately.
    After 3 beta's 30 hours of testing & 50 of my own, I believe I've narrowed the issue down to the win 7 home premium and vista os's.
    Can anyone here suggest other ways to further narrow it down so as to provide functionality on all 3 os's?

    You must provide the exact name and version of the software for anyone to attempt to answer your question.  Primarily the functionality of any software is entirely dependent on what platforms the publisher intended the software to run on.

  • The slide show runs in "live mode" but will not run from the browser.

    Here is the link to the web page http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/welldone.html
    This is the first time that I've tried to use a widget and it looks good, but will not run fromthe browser.

    The answer to the problem is very simple, the main images cannot be found. Please have a look at the following markup starting with line 305 or thereabouts:
          <ul id="ImageSlideShow" title="Jesse the Border Collie">

    Now take a closer look at the first image.
    The thumbnail is jacksjessethumbnail.jpg and, according to the markup, can be found at http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjessethumbnail.jpg. Bless me, the thumnail is there. No problem here.
    The main image is jacksjesse251x270.jpg and, according to the markup, can be found at http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjesse251x270.jpg. Lo and behold, the image cannot be found. The problem must be here.
    We can do the same analysis for each of the remaining images with the same result. This means that the main images have not been uploaded to the correct folder or that the path to the main image is incorrect.
    Assuming that the path to the main image is correct, using DW, have a look in your local folder as follows
    Then 1. single left click on the jackandjesse folder to highlight it, 2. click on the symchronise button, 3. make sure you have the correct selections in the Synchronize Files dialog and click on preview.
    Then click on OK as per
    and the files should be uploaded to the correct remote folder.

  • I have recently purchased finale 2011, and it installs, but will not run?  Any idea what the problem is?

    I have recently purchased the finale 2011 music program, and it installs without any problems, but will not run when I try to start up the program.  It acts like it is going to start, but stops when loading the plugins.  I have been talking with Finale tech support for three days, and they are coming up empty, but they are still trying.  Any ideas what the problem might be?
    Thanks,

  • PB will not run on battery-RePost

    Sorry, but I posted this under the battery and power section w/o a response.
    A coworkers 12" PB will not run off the battery. As soon as she removes the power cord it shuts off. New working battery was purchased and used.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    There are 3 components to the charging circuit: The power adapter, the battery, and the logic board (and within that the dc-in card).
    When the battery is installed, what does it say about it in the system profiler (click blue apple, about this mac, more info, power)? What's the fully charged vs current capacity? Even though it's new, how many cycles are on the battery? When you push the button on the battery, how many lights light up?
    You might have the person try resetting the power management unit (PMU), following directions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    If you know for a fact the power adapter is working, and that the battery is fully charged, then it's either a dc-in card problem (this is the card which has the plug the power adapter plugs into) or a logic board issue.

  • PB will not run on battery alone

    Hello, a coworkers 12" PB will not run off the battery. As soon as she removes the power cord it shuts off. Any ideas? She is kind of tight on money and i am new to Mac.
    Thanks

    Battery status can be checked this way:
    Click on the Apple logo, select "About this Mac", click on "More information" button and have a look at the power information shown on the newly opened window (within "Hardware" section).
    Maybe you can post the battery conditions listed there for further clarification.
    As stated by Malicious DreD, batteries are losing capacity over time and the PB will simply shut down to prevent data loss when battery is empty.
