    I need help... My one year old Acer Aspire S551-2036 laptop won't charge the battery. The power light, the battery indicator light and the light bulb light all flash at the same time. In fact the battery light flashes amber instead of blue. Two weeks ago I bought another Acer Aspire because the first one had been trouble free. I said that to say, that I replaced the battery and the power cord with the one that came with the new laptop, same problem. I took the battery out and the computer worked for a couple of seconds and then cut off. If I plug and unplug it, it will work for a few minutes to an hour, then cut off. What's wrong with my laptop?? Thanks!

    The charging circuit could be damaged.
