Red Battery LED keeps blinking

I have a Dell Mini 9 which has a battery that sucks. It can only last a couple of minutes without being attached before it dies. Anyways, I didn't really care about this until I installed 'acpi' so I could get information about my battery and temperature sent to me.
But since then the red battery LED has just kept blinking. Even when the adapter is plugged in. Its been blinking for the past two hours now... I'm not sure what its trying to warn me about but its irritating. How can I turn it off?
I'm not sure what information to give in this case, so sorry I don't have anything in this post for you guys. But I can pull up anything that will help fix this problem.
Thanks.

A couple minutes? That seems strange.
Try:
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
This should give you some info on the battery and possibly tell you if the battery is bad or not.

Satellite L645 - power & battery led keep blinking

I have toshiba L645 that just bought like a year.
Since few weeks i got this power & battery led give me yellow blinking.
My L645 can be on by using battery alone & does't give any blinking led but if i connect the power AC plug it give me power & battery blinking like 1 second per blink and if i unplug battery and trying to on using power AC alone my laptop suddenly turn off when this blinking occur.
What is going on with my L645? Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.....(by the way my L645 running with windows 7 Home Premium)

Hi
The power LED flashing means that there is a problem with the power supply.
Im not quite sure but possibly your AC adaptor is not OK.
I think the notebook should be checked using the new AC adaptor.
But of course if could be also a problem with power supply electronic on the motherboard. In such case the new AC adaptor would not help you but in such case the motherboard should be replaced.

My Battery indicator keeps blinking when the system is switched off.

HI,
My battery Indicator keeps on blinking when the system is switched off. When there is a AC power supply this indicattor ceases to blink. I removed the battery pack and put it back but the problem remained.
As my battery pack was old I also bought a new battery pack and charged it before using but the problem remained.
thanks...

I will be really helpful if someone can help me out in this.

The LED still blinking and my printer still not working.
Who can tell my why?
I have tried to reinstall them several times.

Hi Mulanan,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with blinking lights on the printer.
I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also suggest that we go through the document on Blinking Lights on the HP Officejet Pro K5300 and K5400 Printer Series.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Message LED keeps blinking

My girlfriend's BB 8230 recently has had some issues she's never had before; randomly the blinking red LED that says she has a message won't go away, despite the fact she has no messages and the setting is changed to OFF. We have already tried numerous soft resets to no avail. Any help is appreciated!
A side note; her ear speaker has also lost considerable volume at the same time while making calls, idk if the problems are related though!

Hey powerfultinyfists,
Welcome to the forums!
Have you tried turning off the LED coverage indicator? If not you can do this by by going to Options - Screen/Keyboard and change it to No.
Let us know how you make out.

My z10 led flashing red when charging and even at battery full it blinks red. no green at any note..

My z10 led flashing red when charging and even at battery full it blinks red. no green at any notification. But at below 10% charging level it blinks with a combination of red and green. Please send me any settings to be changed if.. at full charged no green light is blinking.. how many colours does z10 led have..and when it works and how to make those settings..or was my led not working fine? I am worried so much..plz help me

Your LED is fine, on the Z10 there is not "network signal available" green LED, as you're accustomed to from the legacy devices. At reaching 10%, the LED will blink orange.
Red for message or applicaiton notifications.
if you want to edit and create specific LED color combination, see the third party apps such as BeBuzz or Hub++

I am using apple iPod-suffle model,I am unable to upload music into iPod and 3 lights(green,orange and red) keeps blinking for few seconds when I connect my iPod to my PC and after few seconds its turn to unresponce mode,Plz help to find out solution.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Satellite A10: Battery-LED blinks with AC

Not too long ago I bought a new battery for my notebook. About a half year it worked well. But one day I couldn't start the notebook without AC. I thought, the battery was simply discharged. So I set up the AC-adapter, but the next time, the notebook didn't start either. With AC no problem.
So I charged the battery, and when Windows said, Battery Full, and the LED was green, I disconnected the AC. But then, the notebook fully stopped, as if there was no battery.
Now it is this way: it doesn't matter what Windows sais. The Notebook doesn't start without AC. After a disconnection of AC, the battery-LED blinks fastly orange. When windows runs, it only blinks slowly orange.
Where is the problem? Does anyone know a solution?

Hi
In my opinion there are two possibilities.
Either the battery is dead and must be replaced or the notebooks power supply electronic malfunctions.
The first possibility is not serious problem because the battery replacement should helps to solve this issue but if the notebooks power supply electronic does not work properly, the whole motherboard should be replaced.
I think its advisable to contact the ASP in your country because the guys could locate the fault very quickly and could provide the best solution.
Good luck buddy

Sony TV KDL-60W840B Red LED is blinking 2 times and TV wont turn on

Hi, I have a Sony TV KDL-60W840B which I bought 13 months ago for the world cup soccer (gift for my husand). Now it is not working and like you can read in the subject line once the TV is plugged into a power strip the red led start to blink twice and pause, when I try to turn on it not do it. Please help me because it is not fear that just when the warrenty finished the TV is not working, and in fact I spent $2000 one year ago to have this issue. I really appreciate your help. Ana LuciaAB, Canada.

Hi aluva,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
If a Red LED is blinking and the TV is not working properly it means that the TV has detected an issue or problem. Most Red LED blink conditions require service. The meaning of the blink codes differs between TV models,
Please perform reset, visit the website below for the steps and further details.

Light keeps blinking

I have had my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen pluged in for approx 6hrs and it is not charging. Keeps blinking orange. Do I need to regester it. Actually I have 3 that have the same problem. santa Claus brought them for boys all three of the same and all have the same problem

Actually the blinking light does mean that it is
still charging. Read the "Quick Start" guide again.
I'm having the same problem and even after "Safely"
disconnecting it my iPod won't work because it is not
charged.
Ummm... since you are aware that it's charging WHILE even while the orange LED is blinking, are you allowing it to do so for 4-6 hours, or more? The 4 hour charge time Apple quotes is a rather optimistic estimate... To actually check battery charge status you must remove it from the dock AND cycle the ON/OFF switch; the status LED will show green, orange, red, or nothing to indicate charge level.
I can't believe so many people are having the same
problem. I find it hard to believe this many people
have the same problem and Apple doesn't post a
solution for it. Is their product just that crappy???
I won't go there...
