DA0G7AMB6D1 REV.D Board:
A strange fault occured while I was calibrating the battery. This battery had not been used for a while.
Previously to calibrating the DC/Charge LED operated normally:
Off when no charger,
Solid Orange while charging with Charger,
Solid White when 100% Full with charger.
I charged to 100% then left it playing a long youtube video,
as expected the guage was wrong and it just cut off before reaching the low percent where it would sleep.
It wouldn't power on so I plugged charger expecting to charge back to 100% and have calibrated it.
As soon as I plugged it in the LED was doing the 5 white pulses and a pause.
Everything works perfectly apart from the LED. In windows it charges up etc and runs properly displaying all battery percents correctly.
The battery now works properly after the calibration.
The LED flashing is always happening even without the charger and whether or not the laptop is turned on!
I have another battery that was working and that also now does the flashing.
The laptop flashes with just the battery or no battery but charger or battery and charger... it is relentless.
No amount of google searching tells what this code means. HP only list power and caps lock ones etc.
Any ideas... The laptop runs fine but it is annoying! Passes all the HP diagnostics tests by pressing F2!
It does it with everything removed from board and only battery or charger connected.
I also updated the BIOS and noticed during the update process the LED was showing solid white because battery is 100% and on charger so was briefly working.
Cheers.
