    The battery symbol on my Dell XPS L502X is flashing. I restarted it both on and off the AC adapter, and it won't stop.

    What do I need to do?

    Thanks.

    I pulled the battery out while on AC power, and so far it seems to have fixed it.

    Odd...

    Have you been doing something intensive on your laptop using the battery?
