Lenovo T60 Strange problems with 'power management/power guage'

[ Edited ]
Guys
Since doing a system update my battery guage keeps displaying a grey guage with 3 - inside and if you run the mouse of the icon it says "Battery Not Installed" then 1 minute later it goes green with 100%. Its so random all i can imagine is that there is a problem with the power mangement software, but i have uninstalled the new version and installed an older version but this again doesnt work
I have tried to disable the PM driver from device manager and the Atmel TPM device but these do nothing
I have heard that this was quite common but cant find a solution
Can anyone help
Regards
 
This was found doing a google search
 
I have a strange issue. I have a Lenovo T60 laptop and I am experiencing problems with the power management/power guage.

It will often show the battery not installed (power gauge is a greyish-white color with dashed lines) or it shows a red X. It does not matter if I am on AC power or on Battery power, it will show the full range of power, battery level, not installed, or an error.

I have searched Lenovo's site and I seem to remember seeing an FAQ about this, but now that I need it, I cannot find it.

What can I check or do to stop this? While it is annoying, I am not sure if I am having a battery problem or not. I did check my battery on Lenovo's site to see if it was recalled and it is not.

I do appreciate any help that any one can give me.
