Hey guys, hope you guys can help me, i have a dell inspiron 1150 and lately my battery status light is blinking orange and green. Usually if it is solid orange it is charging but now its orange and green. I charged it already and it is full battery and i try just running on the battery without the AC adapter, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN MAKE IT STOP BLINKING, it is very very annoying, thanks
I have seen situations where if a battery is drained almost completely, the BIOS has an issue determining its actual status and is unable to charge the battery. I would try to update the BIOS, drain the battery completely (if not already done) and pull the battery out for about 15 minutes. Put it back in and attempt to charge it again. ~Rich
Put it down and run!!! It means an explosion is near... Joke, i have no advice, I just couldnt resist with all the recalls lately.
im not kiding remove that battery away and check in dells website to c if that battery is being replaced (it could explote im not kiding just remove the dam battery!!)
Honestly, I would agree with ^^^^^^. Check with dell to make sure you dont have one of the Sony made batteries. Those are the ones that are exploding.

It is the official Dell site for the battery recall.> After you have determined that Dell didnt sell you a timebomb, check Dells site for a BIOS update. This goes straight to the site for BIOS upgrades for your laptop.
