My battery is not charging. That happened after it went off when it became critical and i didn't turn in off. now the battery light has been blinking for day and when i disconnect the power cable the computer goes off

1st have the battery load tested, I suspect it has a dead cell.

Charles,
The battery turns on steadily or blinks to indicate battery charge status.
If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the light operates as follows:

• Solid blue - The battery is charging.
• Flashing blue - The battery is almost fully charged.

If the computer is running on a battery, the light operates as follows:

• Off - The battery is adequately charged, or the computer is turned off.
• Flashing orange - The battery charge is low.
• Solid orange - The battery charge is critically low

Thank You,

How do you know it is charging? What does it do when you hit the power button?

When you plug in the power cord is there any lightswhatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of thepower cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, butthe screen is not showing for some reason.

Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with thelaptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issuewhen you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous.

Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoeverwhen you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you wasoperating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cordis bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the powercord is bad.

Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove theBattery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the batteryout) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can putthe battery back in and let it charge.

see your manuals and what the blink codes mean.
each PC has PDF manual that covers that.
blink codes are BIOS warnings.
to tell you what catastrophic failure happend
like low power
bad memory
processor dead
GPU dead.
and more, some have 12 errors possible (newer)

if the BIOS screens are dead, its lost power.
or one of the above.

Easy.
Remove memory card
turn on
re-charge
shut down
re-install memory card.....
If it does not turn on with memory card removed, connect to charger and turn on

Hi, The LED light on your Gateway NV53 Blinks while charging because it was designed to do so. According to the user manual, if the battery light is:
Solid Orange: Battery is fully charged Blinking Orange: Battery is charging Blinking Red: Battery is critically low Solid Red: Battery problems, contact Gateway support immediately.

Get your battery charged and load tested, if it passes, you might have alternator problems, Gary

if that is the case, please call compac tech support 1-800-888-0220. This might be a battery problem. They can replace the battery for sure...

Check your belt sounds like your belt broke. Battery light comes on if your charging system isn't charging to.check to make sure you are charging 13.5v to 14.5 volts.
