Hi Bill
1 I use T60p a lot without battery. It is fine.
I used another old lap-tops without battery just fine.
I do not have battery.
2 Are you from Linux user group?
T30 can run Linux, slow.
You click and nothing happeps, only then .
I have Linux questions often.

Mike,
Thanks, that's good to know.
I just booted the T30 into its BIOS, but I had to push a button on the
bottom of the unit and try combinations of the power and "Thinkpad"
buttons to get it to boot, and after I updated the date/time, it
wouldn't reboot. Is there some way to get it to boot without pushing two
or three buttons at once?
TIA.
Bill

Thanks for reading this.
I just got a Thinkpad T30 from a guy who gave it away on the
"Freecycle" list.
He got the machine to light up and got to the BIOS, but there's no
battery, and I don't want to tempt fate by running it without one. The
former owner said something about the RAM, and I gather the T30's had
some problem with the second slot not working, but that's all I could
find out from Google.
I'd like to borrow a battery for a T30, and try to judge if this one is
worth the time to work on: the big question right now is whether the $33
for a new battery and possibly $20 for a charger is worth the risk, and
I'd like some more information before I decide.
If you'd rather, you're welcome to take the machine and charger and
docking station and have a go at it yourself: I got it for free and I'm
OK with paying it forward.
Thanks in advance.
Bill
