W520 charging issue. Is this okay?

Please watch this short clip of my W520 charging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwwS7AfodeQ

The battery indicator light keeps blinking like that. Is that normal?

That LED behavior means the battery is 20%-80% full and charging.

What does power manager say regarding full capacity, remaining capacity, and charge amps/volts? Depending what you see it may be a good idea to do a battery gauge reset.

Aah, didn't know that.

Unfortunately, I am in no position to check the power manager. Having issues booting the machine up. Please go through this thread to know the details: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=119851
