Solid orange light?
There is an orange light on my Inspiron 5160. It isn't blinking or anything. It just appears when I plug in the AC adapter (which only seems to work SOMETIMES when I plug it in).
So is it that I need a new battery? Or a new AC adaptar?
If I need a new one, can I just call Dell? I still have my warranty, I am sure. Thing is, do I need the reciept from the place I bought the laptop from?

- What do you mean "need the receipt from the place you bought it"? If you purchased it from somewhere other than Dell, you should know if the warranty was tranferred to you, as required. If the service contract wasn't legally transferred, you're out of luck. Go to Dell Support and put in the Service tag and find out if you're covered. http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/en/details?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

It's the 7 character AlphaNumeric that is labeled Service Tag...RandyMessage Edited by Robot Randy on 05-30-200608:44 PM
- My service tag is on the bottom of my 2500; try looking there. This thread might help you with your adapter issues.

I would say yes. This is pretty much the case on most systems... Usually Blinking Amber means powersupplyTigerTechs_LHS

Lol. Not at all, as long as you don't replace a hard drive you have nothing to worry about loosing information. Just contact dell let them know what the issue is and what you have done and that you researched the problem and this is what you believe it to be so you can avoid the troubleshooting steps all over again!TigerTechs_LHS

If you are under warranty call Dell support and they will replace free of charge. If not under warranty I can not give you a set amount due to I am not a Dell Sales Rep and I do not have the exact update amount but if you can deal with the wait time of some support you shouldn't have any problems... Glad to help
