    I had a question about the Battery LED on my T60... it stays Green whenever I am on battery, and when I am charging it it flickers very slowly (it will stay on for a few seconds, then go off but then very quickly come back on). I noticed that every time I turn mine on (I'm guessing) during POST the battery LED quickly will flash orange but then turn back to green, therefore implying that it can turn orange. Does the battery LED only turn orange if you are running on VERY low battery power? I wish that Lenovo would release some kind of update so that when you're charging your battery it turns orange too. Would be more intuitive I guess... just a thought....

    Yes. That battery LED will turn orange when your battery is at a very low charge state. I agree they should make it a different color when charging (blue anyone? :D), but that's is the purpose of the charging LED.

    What charging LED =[... there is none. There's only the LED to indicate that it's plugged in?

    That's what I was referring to. Under most circumstances, that would indicate charging as well, unless you have it set otherwise.
