Power up problem on T43p

[kam_]

Its doing strange things...

Once powered up and not physically moved it works perfectly. A few times when i unplugged the power adapter and carryed it upstairs it powered off.

When i plug the charger back in, none of the lights come on - like its completely dead. Not even a flicker when i plug the charger in.

Unplugging it and the battery and shaking it around a bit gets it to work sometimes.

Its definately not the battery because if i don't physically move it, it runs fine on battery.

Anyone seen anything like this before? I think its time to send it in for repair.. Any idea what the turnaround is on a mail-in/return to base waranty in the UK?

I been trying to upgrade it to next business day for weeks now, but i can't get anyone to give me a straight answer on how!

I agree.... Thinkpad power problems are rarely addressable by anything a user can do.
