Is it just that the battery is fully charged, so the led only flashes
occasionally as the battery is topped-up?
Does the system show charging OK when adapter plugged in ?
Might be normal ...
If the icon does not show adapter plugged in when it actaully is, then it
might be the system board power connector - the one I took apart had a fault
where the two part of the insert had lost contact with each other, most of
the time. Had to repair the connector itself! What fun.
