Dead battery ?

Hi,

I hope you guys can help me! here's my problem:

Either my battery is dead or something in my laptop is wrong.
an Orange led is flashing in the right cornor of my laptop (not on the screen)
Its the battery charge led its flashing non-stop !
My laptop only runs when the power charger cable is connected this means my battery dont charge or is dead ?

Thanks in advance,

Arjan

 

most probably

 

Yes it looks like it is dead. Have you re-seated it?

 

i have the exact same problem and my laptop is only a few months old. it's your motherboard, it's cooked. you have to contact dell so they can send you a box to return the laptop to them so they can replace your motherboard. only if you have warranty tho. i swear dell has the worst motherboards, all i did was watch a movie on my laptop and it cooked it. smh

 

Dell doesn't have the greatest track record with their mobos. You figure getting sued a few years back would have taught them something.

 

^I have many of these with blinking lights at my job... so far not one has been the motherboard. The batteries get old and eventually die, this is the machiens way of telling you that.

Now only being a few months old, that could be a totally different issue

 

^^ yeah but when you plug in your ac adapter the battery status says '' plugged in but not charging'' even the fan stops working, so your laptop overheats

 

uhh I am guessing on just yours, but non of the machines I have that blink red do that.

 

Yea i gues my fan stops to.. caus it turns hott in a view hours.. realy hott!

 

Thanks for the help guys!
