Acer 5336 power and battery lights blinking

Have you tried resetting your computer? Remove the battery and press and hold the power button for 20 seconds. What we are trying to do is to drain the laptop completely so that the battery memory resets. Connect the battery and try starting your laptop. You say it's blinking is it a pattern or diffent color lights flashing. As soon as you connect the ac adapter without the battery connected is the power and battery light still flashing? Are you still able to get into windows. You need to be more detailed as to what is going on such as do you see anything on the screen?

And i have tried that and i beleve that the battery is in its last lap i gotta buy a new one

Will write here, as this thread was the first in google search :]

For Satan sakes - check your AC adapter! When I got this problem, I read over interwebs, asked my friends and friends-of-friends and majority answers were - wither power contact on laptop is broken or motherboard issue. Repair stores, as "funny" as it sounds, were truly consistent on motherboard issue.

BUT

That was wiring in adapter's cord. Even if mechanic checks your adapter, it could SEEM fine [in my case that was it] but don't trust him - just plug in another, known good AC.

I am not saying that this is the only true solution, but well worth to check - will save you a lot of money!
