Hi all!

My laptop's battery LED is blinking orange and will not light up to green. It's not charging and it will not boot unless I plug in the AC adapter. Is my battery dead? If so, where can I find a cheaper, replacement part? The P/N is: 92P1137. Thanks!

It sounds like a bad battery. A replacement battery from Lenovo is $109. Look on EBay for deals, but do not purchase a non-genuine/after market battery.

Battery status:

Green:
The battery is charged between 80% to 100% of the capacity, and being discharged between 20% to 80% of the capacity.
Blinking green:
The battery is charged between 20% to 80% of the capacity, and being charged.
Orange:
The battery is charged between 5% and 20% of the capacity, and being discharged.
Blinking orange (slow):
The battery is charged between 5% to 20% of the capacity, and being charged.
Blinking orange (rapid):
The battery is charged between 0% to 5% of the capacity.

Are you running windows? Normally you should get a message the battery has failed in my experience..
