The battery died - i have not had any issues with low battery before, it has always held a great charge. when I plugged it in to recharge i still receive a flashing red light on the outside of the laptop.. any sugguestions!?! Called Gateway they said that it will not boot up even with a dead battery. Is that true??

thats what I thought! it is weird - the battery never showed any indication other then regular use. (meaning it still holds a full charge) after a regular battery drain- I plugged it in, and it still died. When I plugged the power cord into the laptop (verified connections were tight) and hit the power button to power up... i see the red light on the front base of the machine flashing red-but only when i try to power it up. I tried a targus power adapter I had as well thinking that the power strip was bad - but still same result. Somewhere something is not getting full power to boot up?!?! Any suggestions????
I still have a 25% charge on the laptop - i have also tried to Take out the battery, then put it back in. Plug in the power supply to the wall, but not to the computer. Hold down the power button on the computer, and while it's depressed plug the power cord into the computer .. still nadda!!! Please help!!!
