Hey, My laptop is old. Model Dell precision m6600. It was working fine until i start facing this issue. When the battery is inside i connect it to charger i see only the orange light blinking 4 times and when i presses the power button either the orange light stays on for some seconds or it goes off.
I have tried cleaning rams, pressing power button for 30 seconds but didn't help.
Kindly if someone can tell me what should be the problem. Thank you

That's not that old. I'm using a ZBook 17 G2 from 2017.

Does it power on normally without the battery while plugged in?

Hey thanks for replying. No it won't turn on

I meant to say 2014, but the newest part in it is from 2017 so I guess it makes sense?

A friend of mine had an M4800 with a bad GPU, the M6600 has an MXM slot so try taking out the GPU.
