Hi. Sounds like you puffed the LED. Most need a resistor to limit current.

Ok, let's start with the thing it isn't.  It is NOT the battery.  Although that is not to say the battery isn't also bad.  Chances are your A/C Adapter has gone bad and/or the connector inside the laptop(known as the D/C plug) has also gone bad.\n\nYour best bet is to find a local notebook repair shop that can take a look at it and give you a free(or relatively cheap) estimate.  The problem with your description is that there is one major component you've left out...\n\nSoftware.  You'd be surprised, but your o/s could be infected and could actually cause immediate shut-downs.  The question I'd ask is whether or not it shuts down or just IMMEDIATELY shuts off, there is a HUGE difference.  If it shuts down and not off, then it's the o/s and/or software and I HIGHLY recommend taking it into the Geek Squad to have them take a look at it.\n\nIf you have any more information for me I might be able to better evaluate the situation and give you a better answer.  For now, get it looked at by a professional.\n\n-Geek Squad Double Agent...

Take it down all the way.  Unplug everything.  Then remove the battery.   Then put everything back in and restart.  If it's still in the same place when you restart, make sure that it isn't running on some secondary battery.  With absolutely no power, it has to go down.

It may be related to the humidity in the air and the contact interface.  If you have some batteries of this type, try them in a humid room like the bath.  Let the batteries and device sit out in the humidity for 30 minutes or so.

your battery has given out. make sure its connected properly. take out the battery clean the contacts (usually gold or copper on one end) and push it firmly back into place. if the light doesn't burn steady then your battery has died and its time for a new one

if you got it used. then the batt is dead. if you got it new ans under 2 years. then i would also have you systemboard checked out. some dells systemboard for laptop came from compal systems. that did make systemboard that where bad contacts that charge the batt.

All you have to do is go out and buy a new one because most likely the battery you got come just be a sample like mine was in my dell inspiron B120 or dell just could have gave you a weak battery like my brothers. So just go out and buy a new one.

If you jump start it and then run to the store or school, the battery is not getting a thorough charge. \n\nFIRST step: Charge it with a charger or drive at least 50 miles, while observing the gauge.\n\nNEXT: check the battery cable connections for corrosion.\n\nNext: check the charging system for proper output.

Try  the reset buttons.  There is one on the mouse and one on the receiver.  Press both of them and see if that helps.\n\nAlso make sure your batteries are good.

I doubt the battery would have been the problem.  You could open the case and make certain everything is connected, cables and such CAN work loose.  You could replace the cable that connects the hard drive with your motherboard.  It really is hard to tell you specifics, but my guess would be the hard drive.  Your best bet is to take it in for repair.

try going to control panel and then performance and maintenance and then power options. there's settings here that prolong the life of the battery so try changing your power scheme if it's set for max battery maybe?

you said your laptop is 3 years old. if the battery is of the same age you're a lucky person. a battery seldom last that long when used daily (that's my personal experience).\nas already mentioned before, the battery is gone and you have to replace it.
