Battery Indicator Inspiron 6400
Hi, I recently noticed that my battery indicator (most right one of the 3 power lights) is flashing three times orange, then once green. I've found on this site that that means it can't charge cause it's too hot. So I turned my laptop off for the night, unplugged and let it cool down, but it is still flashing, when its plugged in and when running on battery. I've done everything I can think of, I've removed and put the battery back in, checked it against the battery recall, checked the charge, but nothing works. I bought my laptop in august, so I doubt that the battery needs replacing!
Any Ideas??
Thanks,
*EQL*

Using a Battery
Check the Battery Charge
To check the battery charge, press and release the status button on the battery charge gauge to illuminate
the charge-level lights. Each light represents approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For
example, if four of the lights are on, the battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining. If no lights
appear, the battery has no charge.
Check the Battery Health
To check the battery health using the charge gauge, press and hold the status button on the battery
charge gauge for at least 3 seconds. If no lights appear, the battery is in good condition, and more than
80 percent of its original charge capacity remains. Each light represents incremental degradation. If five
lights appear, less than 60 percent of the charge capacity remains, and you should consider replacing the
battery. See "Specifications" on page 133 for more information about the battery operating time.
