    Does your battery work? Either it's actually dead or it think it's dead.

    The battery icon flashes a mix of red and blue when you are below 10% battery, but are charging the battery. I don't recall if it's 4 reds per 1 blue, and my battery is over 66% charged right now so I won't be able to test soon, but if your battery is low, that might be the cause.
