Hi there,
I am having exactly the same problem as Martin.Urx above.
My battery charging light, on the top of my laptop blinks all the time.
It goes: red, red, red, red, greeeeen. pause... red, red, red, red, greeeeen. pause .. (repeat)
I got it to go away by decharging the battery completely, then recharging it.
But then, the first time the orange "battery going low" warning light came on, the whole process started again!!!!
Any ideas ????
Also: The battery testing light on the actual battery, when I push that it goes:
green, blank, green, blank, green
blank, blank, blank, blank, blank
green, blank, green, blank, green
blank, blank, blank, blank, blank
green, blank, green, blank, green
Any ideas here? Are the problems related?
EDIT: Okay, I found some links dealing with this problem:
