    Battery Light Keeps Flashing
    My Dell Inspiron 1100's battery light won't stop flashing. The battery ran down three days ago and put the computer in suspend mode. I quickly plugged in the AC adapter to recharge the battery but the light has been flashing ever since.
    When I unplug it, the computer will run on battery power for about an hour (not that it was ever great), then I plug it in again but it never seems to completely recharge.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    J

    You will need to replace the battery, sooner or later.

    Sounds like it has reached the point where it can no longer accept a full charge, thus the light keeps blinking because it can't get to 100%.

    The batteries do wear out, and have to be replaced, but if you are OK with an hour for now, there is no hurry to do so.

    progunr, thanks for your response. I suspected as much since this computer is pushing 6yrs.
