    Have you checked to see if your battery was on the recall list? If you push the button on the battery and the lights show up orange, contact dell about that, they may send you out a replacement if i remember correctly.

    The orange blinking light means that the battery is overheated. Take it out for about an hour or so and let it cool down and reinstall it. It should go away.

    ll right, well for anybody who comes across this issue also, i talked to dell and did some research along with reading that blog. If you have AIM or AOL its nothing to worry about and i guess microsoft is working for a fix for it. They still recommend not letting it run, but if you have no worries.

    What is "flashing" the BIOS?

    The software for the specific piece of hardware that you are trying to update is stored on a chip on your motherboard. Since it is not stored on your hard drive, you have to erase the old information and "flash" it with a new one.
