battery charging light on FE

do you guys with the FE have the orange battery light lit on when the ac is plugged in while the computer is turned off?

i wasn't too sure but i remember the orange light is always on when leaving the laptop turned off with battery and ac plugged in... ?

 

Yeah the battery light will flash when the A/C is plugged in.

 

should it flash until the battery has completely charged and stay on a consistent light when charge complete?

cuz mine now it only flashes for like 2 seconds when u just plugged in the ac and then it goes off.

looks like my charging light got defective??

 

Yeah it should flash every 4-5 seconds or so until the battery is completely charged. I don't think it should stay on a consistent light when the charge is complete though...I've never experienced that. Mine, it just flashes for however long I have my battery in, fully charged or not.

I'd suggest calling Sony Support and asking them about this. I don't think its right for the light to stay on consistently after a complete charge...

I may be wrong though. Give Sony a call and reply here again to let me know.

 

i called sony support and it fixed the prob!!

all they asked me to do (after some verification of warranty and stuff) was to hold the power button for 25 seconds with the battery and ac off.

he said this was caused by a bad hardware communication which led it not charging when computer was off so it needed a reset.

This was my first time calling sony support for it and it was pretty good it fixed my prob and no long waiting (~5min) , after hearing many horror stories bout them.

anyway thanks blackmamba for the tip. rep pt given

 

Thanks for replying. Now I know what to do incase something like that happens to my FE. REpped back!
