The computer is a little over a year old and has been working perfectly until this morning. This morning when I push the power button all that happens is the lightning bolt battery indicator flashes a couple of times. The battery was fully charged last night and it acts the same when the battery charge cord is plugged in. It was shut down correctly last night so it isn't ''sleeping''. Does this mean I need a new battery?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Try to turn on the laptop without the battery and only the power cord plug in.
if your laptop works with this you need new battery or update bios ( there might be fix for battery monitor)
if not, call service support, might be motherboard issue
let me know an update

Hi: On a hunch, I crawled down under my desk to make sure the power cord between the computer and the wall receptacle hadn't separated. Lo and behold, that's exactly what had happened so the battery was dead. I plugged it all back together and now the computer is working like normal. I must have bumped it with my foot to get it to separate like that. Thank you for your prompt and helpful response to my cry for assistance.
You Da Man!!!! :-)
