<p>Hey, <br>
</p>
<p>My galago pro is acting weird. It runs for a few minutes, then
the power led starts blinking orange, and then it shuts down. The
battery is pretty much dead. But it was working fine on AC power.
Any ideas what it could be? Its 2.5 years old. I'm in India right
now so I cannot set it to system 76 for repairs.<br>
</p>
<p>I can prevent the shutdown by putting the laptop to sleep and
waking it up buy i have to keep doing it every other minute as the
orange light start blinking within 2 min.</p>
