Just last night the battery LED on my inspiron 5150 started blinking a
funny pattern -- 3 orange short, then 1 green long. This does not
change regardless of whether the AC is connected or not. BIOS check
at power on tells me that the battery is 100% charged (though it
wasn't last night when this started).
Anybody know what that's all about? I used to have a ThinkPad that
basically lost its ability to hold a charge, and I'm worried that my
battery on this one is dying. Since I run Linux on it without ACPI I
dont have a good battery monitor, either.
