Just above the circuit board on most printer cartridges, you`ll find a small button. You`ve seen these tiny buttons before on cell phones, phone chargers, etc. This is your reset button, and the only way to get in there is either with a paper clip or the tip of a pen (which will leave a tiny ink smudge on the button).

Start by plugging in your computer to see if the LED light shows power going to the laptop. If it lights up, your device is receiving power, which means your problem isn`t the cord or power source. If the light doesn`t come on, check your cord. Many come in two pieces, so ensure that they are connected tightly.
Check your graphics driver
Your graphics card driver might be directly related to the orange screen issue. Maybe the GPU card is not properly connected to the computer unit. Otherwise, it might have an incompatible or obsolete driver.
Regardless of what symptoms you`re noticing, the battery light is telling you a simple truth: you have battery problems, and your car isn`t getting enough current from the battery to operate correctly. That means it`s time to take action, starting with some simple maintenance.
Fast flashing indicates a poor connection between the battery and charger or a problem with the battery pack. Refer to the rechargeable battery does not charge properly using the supplied battery charger article for details. Afterwards, try charging the battery again.
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer. Unplug the power cord from the power source. Wait 60 seconds. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
The ink charge is the recommended way of getting ink into the printer for the first time or for flushing the ink out of the printer with cleaning solution. It is also used when the head clean function is unable to clear clogged nozzles.
Press the button on the chip-reset tool for several seconds until the LED light on the device goes off. Then, unlock the reset tool from the cartridge. Use the resetter with other cartridges and install them back into the corresponding slots in your printer. Voila!
Turn the printer off. Disconnect the power cable from the printer for 30 seconds and then reconnect. Turn the printer on while you press and hold the Resume button for 10-20 seconds.
Turn on the laptop and immediately press the F11 key repeatedly until System Recovery starts. On the Choose an option screen, click “Troubleshoot.” Click “Reset this PC.”
Supposedly, a flashing orange light (after putting a battery in the charger) means that the batter is dead (been charged too many times) or is damaged.
