I'm sorry, I'm just forgetting pieces as I wrote this long story many time in different newsgroups and forums, and still need to find a solution. Anyway I can still use the laptop on battery, or giving 12V with an ATX PSU in place of the positive battery pole, leaving other battery contacts in place.

Usually those things run off a 19 volt 95 watt PSU. -- Live Fast, Die Young and Leave a Pretty Corpse

And how would you measure (and fix the cause) a ripple on the bus? I have a couple of scopes and multimeters for that, but how?
