ThinkPad 380Z Keeps Shutting Down! Sunday, January 1, 2006 at 2:24 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by GH (23 messages posted) The ThinkPad 380Z (running under Win 98 SE) that I inherited has a dead battery. I had been running the laptop with an adapter just fine, when all of a sudden it slowly shut down on me, and I couldn't re-start it until much later. After that, it wouldn't finishing booting up (even with the adapter plugged in), and it kept shutting down on me. The Suspend Mode Indicator Light stays on for long periods, even when unplugged--does this mean the 380Z settings cause it to shut down like that (in Suspend or Hibernate mode)? While it’s shut down, hitting the Fn key does no good, nor does unplugging it for 60 seconds and plugging it back in. Thanks for any responses....
