Windows 7 Thinkpad Battery Gauge Blinking &Flicker Problem

A client came to me today reporting of his Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (oh my.. what a baby!) having a problem...

The battery sign at the bottom right hand corner, where the Lenovo has their battery charging icon and power settings repeatedly blinking and disabling the use of the Windows Taskbar.
I did google-d a little (sorry for the misuse of name), and found a person reporting the same kind of problem (here) where his battery gauge icon flickers all the time.

I tried the following to no avail:

1. Perform System Restore
2. Removed Lenovo System Support Tools
3. SFC /ScanNow
4. Safe-mode and see if the problem persists: it does!
5. Remove all temp files/folders
6. Repaired registry using Ccleaner...

The last thing that helped... Simply re-create the user's profile in Windows 7 and the problem disappeared!
The only problem is, the previous profile is still bugged. Which means, it's profile specific.

Next, I ran chkdsk, and repaired all the issues with the disk, but the problem persists.

Well, I had to transfer all user's files/folders/start-menu items and email configuration.

Problem solved!
