Not that I know of. I believe the only thing that the battery light blinking indicates is things about the battery. Processor, RAM, and Motherboard indications are handled by the Caps. Num. and Scroll Locks.
As I have the same problem I can tell you it is the battery.
Take out the battery of its bay and take a look at its back side. There you see a white circleshape field and some LEDs. Pressing that circle you will see the almost functioning cells of your battery lighting on...
Because of the blinking orange light on top I suggest at least one of this LED doesn't light on.
My Inspiron runs with this warning since about 5 months now.
On saving money it may help you, that the time your battery doesn't hold more than some minutes you can go to some battery-experts and they will change only the cell-package, you needn't buy the whole electronic and the case...
In another forum or thread, there was a post that said the official word from Dell is that this blinking sequence happens when the battery was overheated, but that sensor doesn't work so well. One person was told to "ignore it".

Does it indicate processor speed by blinking differently?
