Having problem charging. orange light comes on for few secs, then goes back off. could it need a new battery?

Has it always only charged with the battery when it is closed, because that is very unusual. Most likely your li-on battery is dead or only holding a minimum charge. Most older laptops will not run without the battery or if the battery is dead. if the battery is not good it will not power up. You need a new battery, or get that one rebuilt at batteries plus or sonewhere.

If the camera battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

THE BATTERY LIFE TIMED OUT.TRY IT ON NEW BATTERY FOR TURNING ON THE SYSTEM.THE CHARGING ADAPTER MAY BR ALSO A PROBLEM TRY TO CHECK IT AC VOLTAGE LEVELS .

Hmm, sounds like a fuse has blown inside the DS. There are 2 inside them, one for the charging circuit and one for the power circuit. Check this link for more information :-

1. switch out the battery for new!
a: if its new then you going to have to go deeper into your pockets you going ot need to have the motherboard repaired or replaced as the connectoer is on the mainboard.

So its ether or my friend hate to bring the back tech news but it is what it is, let hope its under warranty.

Just send it into to sony or buy another one sorry bud......

your battery is gone requires new one.

The charge light flashing orange-orange-orange-green....-orange-orange-orange-green.... usually means the battery has reached the end of its life and now it needs replacing.

There are three ways to test your battery:

1) If the battery has a button on the bottom of it and a row of 5 leds, then push AND HOLD the button for 5 seconds. The LEDs should all turn OFF, then turn back on showing a pattern. If all five LEDs turn on, the battery is dead.

2) Open the Dell Quickset application (doubleclick it in system tray), go to Battery Meter, go to the battery health tab, and pick your battery. It should tell you there if the battery is healthy or not.

3) Reboot your computer and go into the bios. Pick the Battery tab in the bios. It will list the battery health there.

YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE BATTERY WIRING,IT'S ONLY $30

When you first get the DS it will have a bit if charge on it but only a few hours worth. When the DS charges it usally comes up with a orange/red ish light then that goes out about a few hours later when its charged. ad if you want to chek if it is charging correcly turn the DS on whilst it is charging and the little battery simble in the top right corner should show the battery carging.
