Constantly Blinking Battery Indicator

#1 Post by Marides » Wed Mar 15, 2006 5:33 am

Hi!

I have a T23 for a year and my battery indicator suddenly started to blink (orange). I thought, it would stop after a while. However, it keeps on blinking and I don't know whether my battery is totally dead or just discharged. When I checked the battery status, the indicator says it's critical. Does this mean I need a new battery?

I would really appreciate your help. Thanks! :?

Yes, blinking orange while plugged into the mains, means that you need a new battery.

I would probably pull that old battery out before it damages the charging circuits. You can run it on AC without the battery in until you get a different battery
