My IBM ThinkPad X31 hangs when I unplug it. It may or may not dim the screen for a few seconds first (dimming the screen is in my power saver settings). Then the screen goes blank, the disk (as far as I can tell by ear and by the indicator light) shuts down, and the computer does not respond to anything except holding down the power button long enough to just plain shut it off.
It works fine on battery as long as it was booted on battery. It won't transition.
This has been going on for only a few days. For the first two years I've had it, it has never exhibited this problem.
Is there a way to make it STOP doing this?
edit: Dangit, I was going to try swapping batteries and removing the new memory and all, but now it HAS stopped. I can't get it to do it at all. Which means I can't trust it. ObSheesh: Sheesh.

I hate when good computers go bad.
Sorry, this is not a useful answer; merely a commiseration. I once owned a Sony VAIO running Windows ME, after having owned a Compaq Pressario running Windows 95. Need I say more?
