    Same problem i had last month. My dell laptop use to work on power always and one day, when there was power cut so i was keep doing my work, and suddenly in 5mins laptop shut down with orange led.

    Finally i found, my battery had problem. Got new battery and its working fine.

    but before you go for new battery, please check with Dell Technical Support. I spoke to them and they tried alot to get it work and finally asked me to check with other battery first. then only asked me to buy battery.

    Also, if do not buy battery from dell technical support. They charged higher than market. Let me know, if you need any help for me.
