Hello everyone,

I have a Studio 1458. My battery got drained of charge while using the laptop. It has happened in the past too which is quite normal. But this time, the battery isn't responding. When I plug-in the charger, the amber light starts to flicker continuously. On start-up it says 'Warning! Battery critically low. F1 to continue.'

On doing so, system starts up normally but the light continues to flicker. I've removed the battery and now using directly on the AC Charger and it is working fine. I am clueless about the problem. Is it with the battery..the battery charger combination or something with the motherboard?
