yes, get a volt meter and carefully place the leads on the output side of the charger....see if it's delivering the 8.5 to 12 volts needed....per the "voltage label specification" of your charger.
Battery light flashing orange, orange, orange, then green over and over
That usually means that you're battery has exceeded it's life expectancy and needs to be replaced. Could also mean that the circuit on your system board that charges your battery is defective and not charging your battery. Remove the battery and use the AC adapter and see if the the laptop turns on with out the Yellow LED flashing.If so, then you either need a new battery or new system board. If the latter, might be chwaper to buy new computer.
