Hi,
I have a new Toshiba Satellite Laptop and I always have it connected to the power supply.
The battery indicator light on the laptop normally always stays lit in a white colour, however yesterday I noticed the light had turned to an amber colour. It is not flashing- just stays an amber colour.
I have tried disconnecting the power and then switching it back on and it still stays amber. Laptop works fine.
should i worry?
thanks

The only thing I have managed to find on another forum is that orange means the battery is low- however mine is charged at 95%-100% so that rules that out.
The only other thing I can think of is that maybe I have overcharged it?
None of my lights are white, but an amber light means the battery's charging. With a fully charged battery the light's green.
I'm sure I've read that it's not a good idea to leave the battery installed if you're always connected to the mains. It's recommended to fully charge it, then take it out and keep it in the freezer. Use it and recharge it about once every six months.
Do you have a battery power indicator? Bottom right, to left of date/time.
have one here & it's LED's are different to typical laptops
Just from my memory - which is clearly faulty. I think shhftw knows more about it than I do.
You were probably thinking about freezing the hard drive 'trick', I've never tried it but apparently it has limited success if trying to recover data from a dead hard drive.
