    I've tried to look around for any resolutions for this and haven't seen any. My battery icon started malfunctioning about a few days ago and when it reaches full charge it'll start blinking until it reaches 92% battery or so. It still holds about 3 hours of charge (this is the 3D system, so I wasn't able to get Optimus). Any ideas?

    Usually 4 orange and one solid (blue, white, etc - default battery icon color) usually means the battery is malfunctioning. You can check in the BIOS and it should also say that as well.

    The only fix that I know of is to replace the battery.
