    I have problem with my Lenovo 3000 N100.
    It stops working with battery. The battery is Li-ion 9-cells, not Sony :). Only 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.

    It has already 4 months. I use my notebook at home so I usually use power supply.
    I’m interested if anyone has a similar problem.

    You could start by asking for a new battery, see how that goes.

    I’ll go to computer service, because I’m not sure if this is battery problem or notebook.
    It looks like short circuit, but why happened?

    Yes, it did. Computer & battery was under warranty.
    No problems with Lenovo International warranty. I bought in HK but repair in China :)
