Inspiron 1545 power light flashing white/orange

My laptop is almost 12 months old.  2 weeks ago, that the light output (on the front of the case) began flashing - 1 white, amber, repeated 4 continuous - when a/c power cord plugged in and the battery has a charge.  Even if I unplug the a/c power cord and only work on battery. (Bios show the battery is 'Normal' and the bar shows the battery is fully charged).  Power led is steady white when I remove the battery and power cord a/c with. I called Dell Technical Support and they told me that this is not a problem with the battery and my laptop works properly.  Flashing light would indicate otherwise.  I would appreciate any ideas that any who would, especially if you have encountered this same problem.  Thank you.

Hello again

Thanks much for the reply. YES, when I disconnect the battery and only operate on a/c, the led remains white.

So, I'll have to get a new battery which is quite expensive, because I'm no longer under warranty. I almost never use, only to move the laptop from one room to the other. I use it like a 'bureau '. I was put in place with the annoying light for a few weeks now, sometimes I disconnect the battery just to get rid of the discomfort, but it was a windy/stormy weather here and we are known to have occasional outages, so I prefer to keep it.

Anyway, thanks a lot to post your question and write back. I appreciate it

    Hello

    Just wanted to give an update on this issue, in case someone else runs into a similar situation. As I said, I'm under market entirely adapter. I found that the old ground had not been eradicated because if you go out without replacing, it leaves a gaping hole in your laptop!

    I solved the problem of blinky light orange by disconnecting the battery, but leaving so much, with little electrical tape, to hold it in place that it will protect the pins bit inside battery - thanks for the link to the manual, it is also useful.

  • Satellite 2805-S201: AC power light flashes orange 8 times

    Hello

    I worked on a Satellite 2805-S201 and everything was fine until I put a PCMCIA wireless with 3, 3V power.
    After that, the AC power light flashes orange 8 times and recycle.

    It comes with power supply, battery, AC and no battery installed, etc. If I pull out the power plug and the battery and then put both when AC is green and the battery may charge. As soon as I push the power button, I hear a light click on the right side of the device and then it goes into the amber cycling power.

    Bulletins of support mentioned that the card could get damaged, but did not mention the unit itself.
    No, the PCMCIA card is not always connected

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    The flashing provides a micro code which refers to the hardware failure.
    But please don't ask me what might mean this code because in my opinion, only an authorized service provider can be read and can check in his manuals and documentations.
    But it is of course, in most cases, it s a hardware problem of motherboard! ;(

    Perhaps the external PCMCIA card was not totally compatible and damages of something on the map but it's only my personal suggestion to ensure what s bad hardware fault diagnosis would be necessary.

  • Qosmio F20 won't start - power light flashes orange

    My Qosmio F20-149 crashed yesterday and I was not able to get it working again. When I try to turn it on, the power light flashes on and outside (on: 1 sec, off: 1 sec) and the cooler fan operates at full power. When I press a key, there is a genre or a sound error. otherwise no reaction of the laptop; even the CD player does not open.

    I did no RAM-implementation to date, and I use the original power supply Toshiba. I tried from the laptop using only the battery, only power and on both. No change in the reaction. I tried all possible combinations (with a free one, both... etc) of my two cards, RAM (512 + 512) and still no use.

    I am really puzzled.

    If I understand you just your laptop sends a blink code. Copy the following code appears so laptop has detected a problem with the electronic power supply.
    In this case, there is nothing that you can do and the laptop must be sent to the service provider allowed the closest.

    They have manuals containing instructions and the exact description of the code how do I solve this problem.
    Sorry, buddy, but I do not think that anyone here can offer an accurate diagnosis for that matter.

  • HP dv7-3085dx power light flashes, but the laptop does not work.

    Hello! I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx. It has a hard drive Bay 2.

    Recently, I bought the caddy + cable kit and an Intel SSD. The thing is, when I plug the sata cable to the motherboard for the laptop, and the SSD to it, the laptop does not light. When I press the power button, it flashes once (the power LED flashes once), but the laptop does not light. When I press again, nothing happens.

    I tried to remove the power supply plug, battery and plug it all again, but the power light flashes once (when you press the power button) and no reaction.

    Maybe it's the sata cable: when I remove the new cable and connect the SSD with the sata cable on the 1 hard drive Bay (the cable supplied with the notebook), it works fine. The laptop starts. And when I connect the former sata cable, with the SSD on the second hard drive Bay, it also works.

    I just want to now what is the flashing light means light? Why it does not work with the new cable?

    Thanks in advance! Sorry for my bad English...

    Emilio.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the kit. I would recommend to download and install the latest BIOS update for your laptop, using the download at the following link: http://goo.gl/rbHkg

    If it still doesn't work after that, I would recommend to suppress the kit for a replacement or to try another.

  • Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

    Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

    This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

    Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

    Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

    Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

    Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

    Hello

    Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
    On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

    In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
    If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

    Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

    But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

  • Portege M100 does not start - power light flashes orange

    Hi all

    I have a Portege M100.
    Since ysterday, the computer does not boot. When I push the power button, I hear the noise of the fan starts working, but nothing else happens. The power light continues to blink in orange.
    I removed the battery and tried to turn on the computer with the AC adapter is plugged in, but nothing changes.

    Any ideas on what could be the problem? I would appreciate help,
    Thanks in advance

    Yalin

    Hi mate,

    could possibly be the RAM, so please check the RAM modules and remove 1 module if you have 2 of them installed.
    Otherwise, I check if some another module of RAM is available and install the module of well known work. If this is not sufficient then I strongly recommend you to bring your machine to a service partner chartered for a balance of health/repair of equipment.

    Please give some information about your situation...

    P.S.: you can try to remove the battery and AC and leave the machine without power for about 24 hours. Maybe it helps?

  • Portege M750 starts no-power light flashes

    I have an orange flash on my power light error code (1 long flash 3 short 1 long 2 short 1 long 1 short)...

    I use image windows 7 Toshiba with all Microsoft updates (now I NEED many to verying reasons so don't grill me again... for example DON 'T SUPPORT MICROSOFT UPDATES blah blah blah)

    What does this code mean and y at - it a Bios Beta above version 3 for these things...

    Any helpful comments would be greatly appreciated...

    Hello

    In short, 0, long ways 1.
    In your case, the binary code is 1000 1001
    Now, we must reverse the binary code because the most significant bit.
    This means that the code is; 1001 0001
    The HEXADECIMAL code means; 91 h

    Error code is 91 h but I n t know what that 91 h means and what role might be affected exactly!

    Eventually it s something wrong with electronic power supply on the motherboard, but only the ASP technician could provide more details
    However, in most cases, the motherboard is affected and needs to be replaced.

  • 32D1334B LCD TV - not light power light flashes red & Green

    I have a Toshiba 32D1334B LCD TV, it used to work perfectly well and then all of a sudden, it will not activate.
    When I plug in the TV, the power automatically light flashes red and green permanently. There is no way to turn on the TV; the screen remains black.

    I had to take off the back, watched and deleted all the parts, but can not see the obvious problems. I also a multimeter and power to the various sections of the TV is, but that's as far as my electrical knowledge goes!

    I don't really know what else to try, but I am very reluctant to throw away the TV that I know it's probably a unique piece that needs to be replaced to fix it. I searched online and others have reported the same problem exactly, but it had not resolved there always. Unfortunately, TV is more under warranty... If anyone has any suggestions or can provide any help, then it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance.

    If you find out how to fix it please let me know because my tv is the same.chris
