I have the same CURIOUS signals!!!! (DELL)

Ick! My Dell Inspiron 6000 has been blinking at me with one long green and 4 short orangle light.. Grr.... Found this article though "Most Curious (aka something funky's going on with my Dell and I have no idea what it means) - pf.org". I might try fridge-ing my battery and if that doesn't work, will need to get a new battery! Bleh. To give Dell credit, my laptop has been a loyal useful tool for the past 3 years... :) I guess it's about time for me to replace the battery!
