    Some of you might have seen my other thread, I spilled a liter of water on my T61. Now everything works fine. EXCEPT:

    When plugged in (whether the dock or the chord) It will sometimes charge normally, and sometimes make a sound and flash like its being plugged in and out (and also show the brightness meter that comes up when plugging in/out). When this happens the battery doesn't charge, but also doesn't deplete. "Plugged in, not charging."

    Kind of annoying...

    What are your charge thresholds?

    It should charge to 100, My charge thresholds aren't stopping it.

    I think you should remove the palmrest and keyboard bezel and keyboard and leave the interior of the machine in the sun for about eight hours and try the experiment again.

    I will try this if happens again. Seems to be okay for now. Does anyone know if water damage is covered by the warranty (or if there is even a way to tell that it was damaged by water?)

    So I tried drying it out. No difference. It also makes a hiss coming from the back when this happens....
