I was using the laptop with battery only this afternoon and all of a sudden the laptop shut down itself. Then I cannot boot up the system without using the power charger. The battery indicator keeps flashing in orange color when the power charger is connected. Does that mean it is a dead battery? Someway to test it? I bought the laptop new 8 month ago and it is hard to believe a battery can be dead so soon.
