Hi I have an Acer laptop. I replaced its battery a month ago and it was charging without problems until a few days ago when It just stopped charging. It will charge for a few seconds, then the power button will bling several times and then it will stop charging. What can I do? Please help!

There may be damage to the battery (manufacture defect), especially if the battery is not an OEM battery. The flashing power light means that there is a power issue. I'd ask for a replacement through the warranty provided for the battery.
