Hi there, I have a Toshiba Portege Z930 that shows an amber light on the battery. It looks like the power cord is flashing too. The pattern goes 1 short, then 2 long, followed by 3 short, and finally 1 long and 1 short. I tried using a different power source but got the same problem. I searched for flash codes everywhere and can't find any. After replacing the keyboard and checking all connections, they look okay. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, John

Hi and thank you. Is that what the flash code says is the issue? Just don't want to start driving down the path if it could be something else. Thank you, John

Did you change the battery after buying the laptop? If no, then sure, that is what you should do. But if it already was changed, maybe you ought to look around at all the places where electricity comes in and see if there are any scorch marks or broken parts.
