ask them why the battery indicator in a notebook would flash orange three times and then give a short green, then off.

i think it means the battery is toast, but nothing in the docs mentions that signal

If you can't learn to do it yourself, then you deserve to wait for hours to get mostly useless help.

o_O On the phone to Dell because of a BSOD? They are just going to tell you to pop in the restore disk and reformat the PC.
