    I have a XPS M1330

    Im not sure if this is normal, but my battery light is flashing orange and blue constantly.

    I've read the manual and it says the "battery is heating up, and PC needs to be shut down"

    I've shut down the PC for about 12 hours, and turned it back on just now, and it is still flashing.

    Any ideas whats wrong with it?

    is it flashing a certain pattern? I had one on my xps M170 that flashed a pattern of 4 green - 1 orange and I found that meant the battery was dying. :(
