Orange power light flashing on laptop?

djdannyb — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:51:19 GMT

Hi guys having some problems with my laptop, came to turn it on this morning and was completely dead. Plugged it into the main and it booted up, 5 mins into my session it stopped responding so I turned it off holding down the power button but then when I switched it back on its gave me the error message "operating system not found" After unplugging at the mains and trying agen I booted it up in safe mode and ran some system checks on the hd and memory etc and seems t be workin fine. I now have the problem (if it is one) when I put my laptop to sleep the power light that normally stayed lit green now flashes orange? Surely it cant be the battery going, ive only had the laptop 2 months! If anyone can shed any light that ud be great

thanks.. Danny

Off when the vaio is hibernate or turned off.

The battery indicator status
