The forum makes me look like a prophet...

Check out this thread from the forum - pretty much makes me look like a prophet of the [CENSORED] computer:

"I have, until now, considered myself lucky to not have had any issues with my tablet. Enter battery FAIL. In 1 day, my computer went from holding a 2 hour charge to not turning on or staying on without being plugged in. The Power Manager says:
"A battery error has occurred. The battery cannot be charged. Replace the battery."
Something tells me I'm not the first one with this issue...does anyone know what might have happened and whether I should expect to pay for a replacement?
Thanks!"


Followed by:

"Same thing happened to me. The computer folks gave me no explanation, apparently it just happens. Which is fun.
You can buy off brand batteries online, but I don't know how well they work.
You can get a new Thinkpad battery at student stores for $90 which is cheaper than they sell them online (or at least that was true a few months ago).
Good luck"

"My battery did the exact same thing the day after Jason's post.
I have questioned the possibility that Lenovo puts a time bomb in the batteries set to go off just past the 1 year warranty date...
After the battery totally gave out, my computer starting pulling up the THinkVantage Rescue and Recovery screen at start up. I tried restoring, but my computer still isn't working correctly.
My internet browsers have all also crashed and will not open. Thus I have no internet access from my computer.
Anyone else have this problem?
I don't understand what kind of IT person thinks a Lenovo is worth anything close to 2 or 3 grand."

I don't want to toot my own horn here, but...

TOOOOOOT TOOT! TOOT! TOOOOOOOT! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Toot.
