    My Lenovo 3000 N100 stops working with battery. The battery is Li-ion 9-cells, not Sony. It has already 4 months.

    When I remove the battery computer an use power supply it is possible to turn on the computer.
    When I use power supply and the battery and turn on computer it starts. During start indicators battery status and standby status are blinking orange. After 10-15 computer turn off and it is not possible to turn on it again. When it turn of the indicator battery status and standby status are orange (not blinking).
    When I turn on power supply after a few seconds the battery status and standby status a switch off.

    I don’t know where is problem, battery broken or something wrong with notebook.

    first of all, is the battery charged? You seem to remove the battery when using AC power.

    Charge the battery... It sounds like the battery is not being charged and the computer goes in to stand-by, just leave the battery in with the A/C adapter attached and let it sit for a few hours, then try it. If that does not help, then the battery is dead and needs to be replaced.

    It was full charged but I try again.
    The indicators battery status and standby status are not correctly, and I did not find in manual what they mean. I suppose it is some code for service.

    The battery doesn't charge.
    It looks like short circuit (in battery problem or notebook), but why happened?
    I’ll go to service.
