Re: Problem: Flashing orange light and no charging!

So I recently was just using my Lenovo for work, and I noticed that I was on low battery. When I plugged the computer in, the charging light started flashing orange at an irregular, syncopated rate. In addition, the computer will not actually charge. At this point, the computer has 5% battery left and it's turned off.

 

What's wrong? Is it a problem with the battery, the charger, or the computer itself?

The last post is not correct.  A bad charging circuit on the motherboard can cause the symptoms, but, as I said, it is usually the battery.

Re: Problem: Flashing orange light and no charging!

I cannot be sure without seeing it, but those symptoms usually mean a bad battery

Hi ! Try removing the battery and just connecting it to the power source.

If it works, then it indicates that the battery needs replacement.
