Last week I got the dreaded flashing amber battery indicator on my ThinkPad X60, and it wasn’t the good kind of flashing.
It turns out that my battery was susceptible to failure by a known issue affecting some ThinkPad batteries. On Tuesday night I emailed Lenovo support, on Wednesday I received a response, and two days later there was a brand-new battery sitting on my doorstep.
Thanks, Lenovo.
