ThinkPad T60 Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide
→ The surge protector in the battery might be active. Turn off the
computer for one minute to reset the protector; then turn on the
computer again.
→ You cannot charge the battery when it is too hot. If the battery feels
hot, remove it from the computer and allow it to cool to room
temperature. After it cools, reinstall it and recharge the battery. If it still
cannot be charged, have it serviced.
→ The rattling noise might be heard when:
– The hard disk drive starts accessing the data or when it stops.
– You are carrying the hard disk drive.
– You are carrying your computer.
This is a normal characteristic of a hard disk drive and is not a defect.
→ In the startup menu in the BIOS Setup Utility, make sure that the
hard disk drive is included in the "Boot priority order" list. If it is
included in the "Excluded from boot order" list, it is disabled. Select
the entry for it in the list and press the x key. This moves the entry to
the "Boot priority order" list.
