mine was doing the same thing. the second tech i talked to at dell said "it means it's not charging properly." not necessarily "not charging at all", just "not properly", so maybe not charging at full capacity. could be a (partially) bad battery, (partially) bad ac adapter, or something wrong with the circuitry. i was getting 3amber-1green flashing sequence on one of my dell-purchased ac adapters and 4amber-1green sequence on my other dell-purchased ac adapter.
in my case, it turns out that my modular battery wasn't seated properly: i unseated it and reinserted and life is good. too bad i got through 3 dell people and noone had the foresight to suggest that to me.
