The orange led flashes on and off when the when

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,

dsi xl getting wrong voltage at plug that goes to the battery. I have 5.78 from charger at battery connections I have 5.78,3.87,0.45,1.98 it bounces all over any ideas?

popped a fuse...youll need a repairman

Your battery may have Battery charge status indicator, when you press the button next to the 4 led indicators the LEDs indicate the charge status.
Also the System Battery/Charge LED indicates the battery's current operational condition.
Flashing orange indicates Battery failure.

What color is the power light when the system shuts off?

Red: If the power light is red, or flashing red, when the system turns off, then the system's battery needs to be charged.


Blue: If the power light is blue when the system turns off, then there appears to be a problem with the system and it will need to be repaired.

If the orange recharge indicator light blinks while the system is plugged in and charging, then it is likely that the battery is not installed properly.

If you have ensured that the battery is installed properly but the orange light still blinks, check to make sure that the battery is a licensed by Nintendo. The only licensed Nintendo DSi battery will have the model number "TWL-003" (Nintendo DSi) or "UTL-003" (Nintendo DSi XL) and will display Nintendo's logo.

(More) Hi, At my dell 1525 the battery status led flashes 4x orange folowed by a blue flash a.s.o. The dell manual identifies the battery as the cause. But, except for this optical signalisation, the laptop works well, the battery is charging, the AC adaptor is working properly. What is happening? Stefan

The flashing orange LED is a Battery Critically Low indication.
If the Windows Battery Meter and the BIOS do not show the batteries charging then there may circuit problem in your battery.
If you can, try battery in another system, if you can't, I'd try a new battery before doing any hardware changes to the system

If the system runs using the AC adapter, but the battery doesn't hold a charge and the battery indicator LED flashes orange, then replace the battery (A battery with an internal failure may flash 4 times orange then once green and repeat)

The normal lifespan of a PC battery is 300 to 500 recharge/discharge cycles (roughly 12 to 18 months)

The charge light flashing orange-orange-orange-green....-orange-orange-orange-green.... usually means the battery has reached the end of its life and now it needs replacing.

There are three ways to test your battery:

1) If the battery has a button on the bottom of it and a row of 5 leds, then push AND HOLD the button for 5 seconds. The LEDs should all turn OFF, then turn back on showing a pattern. If all five LEDs turn on, the battery is dead.

2) Open the Dell Quickset application (doubleclick it in system tray), go to Battery Meter, go to the battery health tab, and pick your battery. It should tell you there if the battery is healthy or not.

3) Reboot your computer and go into the bios. Pick the Battery tab in the bios. It will list the battery health there.
