Hi there,

my battery died yesterday all of a sudden.  The battery LED is only
blinking red.  tp_smapi reports a charge of 85% and gnome-power-manager
says that the "battery is fully charged", but as soon as I pull the cord
everything goes black.  The battery is a bit over a year old, I think.

Any ideas, if this can be solved by some EC magic?  Laptop in question
is a Z61m.  And does anyone know what the default warranty on batteries
is?  One year?

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
