X41 Tablet PC the battery shows good but computer will not work

I have a IBM X41 Tablet PC. When on the power suppy the computer works good. When I unplug the power supply the computer shuts down. The battery monitor says the battery is good, the battery monitor says the "battery is in good condition" the remaining capacity: 35.42Wh, full charge 36.07Wh, Voltage 16.59, tem 29C, cycle count 212, sanyo, manufactured 2006-05-18, serial number 27, Bar-coding number 1ZA6P65J00R, FRU part number IBM-92P-1085. I removed the battery and cleaned the terminals. What could be wrong?
Thanks, Kurt

Some times a battery can pickup a dead short, and even though it shows a charge it will not work. The other possibilty is the power management chip on the mother board. This chip allows the computer to charge the battery and switch from battery to AC. (Right now I have a Thinkpad that will only run on battery, bad PM chip) Try replacing the battery first, if that doesn't work, then unfortunately the motherboard will have to be replaced.

The wireless key doesn't seem to be working on my X41. There is nothing wrong with the network but the computer can't/wont find any networks. If I need to change the wireless key where do I find it? (I do...

Before you can use the assigned X41 Wireless ON/OFF key and other hot keys, you need to load the appropriate and specific Hotkey driver for your X41 and Operating system (XP, W2000, VISTA or W7):
If you do not have the drivers media, see this link or other on this Lenovo/IBM site: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68000.html

Tablet PC 2005 Input Panel won't work.

Are you pressing down firmly enough? If not, sounds like the digitizer may have a problem... The digitizer is the layer in front of the lcd, it's job is to pick up the signal from your pen and send it to the motherboard. The motherboard should have two connections to the screen, one to the lcd itself and another to the digitizer. If you remove the screws on the bottom of the tablet you can take off the keyboard and see if both are connected right.
