Miranda Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 There are 3 lights on my laptop. 1. to show it is switched on [green]. 2. to show it is charging [orange or green] 3. a light i've never seen on before which is RED and has just come on. Does anyone know what this means, or what I do about it? Is the laptop overheating???
Zetti Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 No idea, it has never happened to me. I think maybe you should turn the laptop off and leave it for a while and see if that helps!
Laura Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 On my laptop there are four light, the first one is green which is always on the next is orange which is the battery one the next is never one which has an envelope thing above it and the next is yellowy orange which is the internet connection. Dont know if yours is the same but maybe its one of them lights.
Cerise Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Try googling your laptop make and see if there's a FAQ or Help site you could look at would be your best chance, or if you have a handbook/manual you could look at that It could just be a faulty usb connection or something.
Miranda Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks for replying. I turned it off for a while but put it back on to ask for help I've looked on the internet and it might be either 'drive activity' or the battery/ charger going wrong. Whichever it is, I'm worried its serious and I love my laptop, I don't want it to die
Laura Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 I know, I'm the same. I can't live without my laptop! Maybe it means there isnt much battery or something.
Miranda Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Now I'm relieved but slightly annoyed. My husband came along and said 'oh, it must be this' pressed a button and solved the problem. But at least I now know the make of the laptop and I will download a manual, as we don't have one for various reasons. I suppose actually I should say what it was: it seems there is a wireless connection button underneath that shows red if has been activated somehow. I must have activated it without realising I can just hear the computer experts tutting as I type this
Laura Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Well I'm glad its fixed . I know I wouldnt be too happy if that happened to me.
Nathan. Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 My laptops completely screwed I think I need to get a new one... I'm going through laptop withdrawals.
Laura Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 My laptop seems to work fine but it makes a weird noise whenever I go on it which doesnt sound so good.
