The charging light is blinking orange and blue, but is not charging.. what does that mean?
Since most newer lap tops and note books use Li-ion batteries, they (the BatteryPack) have a built in chip to keep the charger from over charging a depleted battery, one that has locked itself from being charged. This is a safety feature to prevent a fire from a hot battery that may be overcharged. This feature locks the battery when the internal resistance gets too high and the battery pack falls below 3 volts per cell.
Try this for laughs, take the battery out of the lap top and put it in your freezer for about an hour and then place it back in your machine and see if it will begin to charge. This works sometimes as the cold slows the charging down to where the battery may recover. However, it will still be a low use battery as over time they loose the ability to be recharged to a full 100%
The worst is that you may have to buy another battery. If you do avoid buying used batteries as some one else is trying to sell you their problem.
