D'oh! Looks like comp.laptops is shot, so I'll re-post here.

I have an Inspiron 5160 here, won't start up.

I hit the power button and the battery light flashes:

long orange
long orange
long orange
orange-orange-orange-orange-long green
orange-orange-orange-orange-long green
orange-orange-orange-orange-long green

... and out.

I can't hear any fan or hdd activity.

Does anyone recognise this light pattern or have any ideas? Bad battery?

If the battery's bad, shouldn't the laptop start with the battery removed
while plugged into A/C?
