What does a blinking red light on an Alienware laptop mean?

I recently purchased an Alienware M17x gaming laptop & notice that there's a blinking red light on the lid (the Alienware logo). I put in a new battery for it since the old one wouldn't hold a charge. I haven't turned on the laptop yet (after replacing the battery) thinking that this red light means the new battery is charging. I had it charging all night & the light is still blinking. Does anyone know what this blinking red light means? Could this new battery be bad as well or is there something wrong with the AC adapter? Please help!

What are the requirements on a laptop to play multiplayer minecraft?

I don't know if I necessarily need a legit gaming laptop but I want to play with no lag. Stuff like ram and processor.

Answer
Well I'm no expert but you should have at least a 2.0 (coming from a guy with a 1.8 lol) processor. As far as the RAM, I have 2GB, but if you can find one with 3 that's great. For professional gaming laptops you're talking at least $1000, I got an amazing deal of $240 but mine isn't state of the art either lol. When logged in and in game, pause it, Esc, and go to Options, then Video Settings. Make these changes and the game should run a lot faster for you:

Graphics: Fast
Render Distance: Tiny or Short (Tiny works the best, but if you got a good laptop then you can go up to Short or Normal. Don't do Far unless you really need to, massive lagging)
Smooth Lighting: OFF
3D Anaglyph: OFF
GUI Scale: Auto
Brightness: Moody
Particles: Minimal
Performance: Power Saver
View Bobbing: OFF
Advanced OpenGL: OFF
Clouds: OFF
