Hello Henrique,

Unfortunatly, when I use your method, replug the battery and replug
the ac connector it takes a couple of seconds more for the battery
light to change from an orangy-green at plugging the ac connector to
switching to blinking orange again.

So even before I can switch the machine on, the led is blinking orange again.

Can the Windows suite do more than the pc doctor iso image? I'm asking
as I currently have no windows installed on this machine...

The battery is an original. It came with the machine when I bought it.

Hendrik-Jan
