I believe that is the battery light indicator saying that the battery is depleted. If you've attempted to recharge the laptop, I'd put my money on a bad AC Adapter. Try a different AC Adapter. Dell laptops are very picky, so I'd recommend acquiring a Dell-brand adapter to ensure it will charge your battery.
try this: remove battery unplug power adapter from the laptop hold power button down for ten seconds this will drain the laptop power completely. place battery back in and plug power adapter back in. Now turn your laptop back on. let it start normally if you using Windows XP go to start button then control panel then power options and in the power meter tab see the computer sees your battery. check to see if battery light is on.
adapter should be fine..if light comes on adapter should be good...leave battery out of the system...just use adapter and when starting system up tap f12...see if u can see this menu..if not try a external monitor to see if u can get a image..if so run the diagnostic..if still no image or no external monitor it may be a mb
Your battery might have have reached its end of life. You need to replace it, if you are still under warranty you can call dell then they will replace it with new one.
If you have replaced the battery with a NEW one and it doesn't charge, then you either have an issue with the AC adapter (If the sensing pin is bent or broken in the barrel of the connector, the battery will not charge) or the charger curcuit of the motherboard. If the issue occurs on a different AC adapter, then FLash the BIOS to current version. If battery still doesn't charge, then replace the motherboard
Before buying any more parts, attach an external monitor and if the display is OK then the problem is your LCD, if the problem is displayed on the external monitor the problem is the Video card. I believe the 1300 has an integrated Intel video adapter
