I have a new T42 < 1 week old and I am not experiencing your problem. A WAG might be to try switching the battery monitor from the top panel to the bottom panel or vice-versa. (If that fixes your problem I will be amazed!). Does this problem happen when you are plugged into wall power? How many batteries are you using? Do you have an ultra-bay battery installed?
