I would take note of the message you are getting and buy a new battery. I believe the red flashing lights mean that one or more of the cells in the battery are dying, and it's best not to turn off alarm lights like these. Did the battery hold charge for a longer period than one hour before you started to see the flashing light warning?
Remove the main battery and try again, no change! remove the ram memory one at a time, testing as you go making sure there is one ram stick in the slot at all times. If none of these work, the motherboard is the likely problem and you will need a technician to access.
4 orange and 1 green can mean a battery malfunction, or it could be an indication that the battery is about to reach the end of its life cycle.

What laptop brand and model is it? And where is the LED that blinks? Important details! Some laptops have a power light that blinks red while battery charges, then it turns steady green when battery is full. Some laptops have a red LED that lights whenever there is hard drive, CDrom, or floppy activity (read/write). This all depends on your laptop brand/model and where the LED is (side, near floppy/CD, top near screen, or on battery itself... so provide more details for me, please!
