Inspiron 9200 Battery Overheating
I am writing this just moments after I encountered this problem. I have an Inspiron 9200 and just a few minutes ago, I noticed the charging light started to blink orange and green. I then noticed that the surface of the computer above my right hand began to get hot. I pulled the AC adapter out and picked the computer up and noticed that the battery was scorching hot (I couldn't hold my hand on it for more than a second). I have since pulled the battery and am operating the computer on AC power. This battery is not listed on the recall list. Any idea what I should do with it? It is not under warranty anymore.

If there's no sign of other trouble, replace the battery with a new one.
