Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. Can we try to remove the battery and just connect the AC adapter on the computer and see if the computer will start normally or will not work. We just need to verify if this a problem with the battery or the battery connector of the motherboard. Please let me know what happen so that we can continue troubleshooting.
Thanks
If the battery continuously dropping fast it seems that the battery is the issue.

Hi,
I hope your computer's power port is still okay because the battery is just fine. Let's do a power drain, to do that:
If it helped, then good. If not then the computer's motherboard, specially the power port, is defective.

I did as the first expert advised. It still has the strange 4 orange, 1 blue repeating Morse code! Is there any hope that I do not have to replace the motherboard, or can I just live with this if there is nothing else to be done?
I did what you suggested and, lo and behold, without the battery the compute starts up without the annoying orange-blue blinking sequence. Also, with the AC adapter and just the battery, the computer starts up, less bright screen, and it says it has 1 hr and 37 minutes of charge left, which seems a bit small (?), since it started with "full charge". Diagnosis doctor?
I read my last. Obviously, I meant with the battery only, it still does the bad, and the charge is dropping. However, a double check just a moment ago says the battery has 2 hr 40 min 90% remaining. Strange.
Great help. I will try a new battery.
