Asked this in Dell's forums, but received a vague reply that it MIGHT
be the battery. What I would like is another opinion on whether the issue is the motherboard or battery. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What happened: No battery issues until I tried to recharge the battery overseas(England). Ever since then, the battery does not work at all and I get the 4-red/1green flashing led's with the battery and AC adapter hooked to the unit. Tried: Removing the battery going into bios checking no battery shutting down reinstalling battery. On the setup screen page I get: Battery #1 - 100% Charged Battery Status - Charging 1. If I do the battery check by hitting the battery icon 1 time, I get: LED's 1,3,5 flashing 4 times in a row. 2. If I check the battery health by holding the battery icon for 3 seconds, I get: The same LED's 1,3,5 flashing when I am holding the button. After the 3 seconds, all 5 LED's will flash 1 time. Does this help me determine whether the issue is the motherboard or battery? Strange because the LED's seem to indicate a battery issue, while the setup screen says the battery is 100% charged. I am confused. Does this test mean that I have 60% battery capacity at most? If so shouldn't the 600m at least power up? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
