Hi, I just pressed the power button on my laptop and the power light came on as well as the battery light and then went off after a second, so I pressed the power button again and it did the same no matter how many times I did it or no matter how long I did it, so I took the battery out of the laptop and blew the pins, left it out for 3 mins and put it back in, and then it worked fine, im using it now, but is there anything that may be causing this.
it is the first time it has happened but I thought if it is gonna be a problem I might as well as get ahead of it.
So does anyone know what is causing this or will it just be dust on the battery
 
Could have been caused by static build up... Just keep an eye on it and tell us if it happens again. Laptop batteries have about a year or two life span, depending how you use the laptop. Is your always on the AC adapter?
 
most of the time yes it is on the AC adapter but I do let the laptop run down to 5% battery life once every week, because I have heard it can help them have a longer life
