I am not sure what's going on, but the three right LED's are flashing green, and the machine is beeping, although it seems to be working fine.

Any suggestions as to what is going on? PLEASE HELP!

Thanks,

Sandy

Beeping could be the battery is low and the alarm is sounding?

Whats the battery status?

Flashing lights and beeping are typical alarm signals that something needs your attention. Hopefully you've turned it off by now. That's usually my first thing to do when I don't know what's happening. A machine that's off generall can't get damaged. In those few situations where it can, it will suffer less than if its on.

they are still falshing, i wasn't smart enough to turn it off, though i did reboot, and it came up the same way. As for the battery, i have a dual bat setup but am currently running on AC, and the status on the taskbar shows that i am on AC.

Try getting rid of the second battery and just go into BIOS; Windows only makes these situations worse. Maybe try to reset the BIOS to default settings.

if anyone is interested, i just got off the phone with Sager tech support. No one really knew what was going on, but after a good hard boot, everything is fine.

BTW, tech support was very responsive and helpful walking me through some other diagnostics to try to find the problem.

Well glad your problem is resolved, though it would have been good to know what it was and what actually fixed it. Could have just been a case of the weirds and all it needed was a booting. These buggers are as tempermental as people sometimes.
