    I inherited a Sony PCG-FXA36, with no manuals.

    All I want to know is, with the display closed, there are 4 visible LED's in between the hinges, what are they for ?
    I bought a new battery for this, and when I plugged it in, the second LED from the left blinked for a few minutes, and then stopped. I don't know what those 4 LED's are for.

    Anyone know of a manual online ? I looked, could not fine one.

    Take a picture of it and upload it. I'm sure someone knows. Here's a shot of my PCG-F590's LEDs when closed:

    From left to right the LEDs are as follows:

    Power (solid green indicates it is on)
    Primary Battery (solid orange if on battery power, flashing orange if charging)
    Secondary Battery (don't have one, so don't know, I'd imagine it's the same as the primary battery)
    Hard Drive (lights up when accessing the hard drive)
