Battery light flashing 4 times...code?
I went to turn my laptop (600m) on the other day and it was dead. I thought this was funny because I had used it the night before and ran it down to about 75% then plugged it in all night. Plugged it into a/c power and it turns on fine. The battery meter in windows says 98%, the meter on the battery has all lights on. I do get 4 red blinks then 1 green from the battery light. I have a feeling the battery is dead...but I think it is weird it just went like that. Is this a specific code or do I need to shell out for a new battery? Thanks

ramkishore,
I am not sure that JP0933 means that the the lights on the battery itself are 4 red and one green, but perhaps the battery light (charging LED) on the system blinks 4 red and one green. Perhaps JP0933 could provide some clarification on this?

That is correct...the light on the top right of the laptop itself next to the power and HDD light.

Turning the laptop off and then reseating the battery seemed to do the trick, as I haven't seen the flashing red light again.
