I have a Dell B130. I know it's a crappy so I do not need to be reminded. But there are four lights on the front of my laptop and the third light blinks orange. Since this has been blinking my laptop will not run on it's battery. Every time I unplug it, it turns off and it has never done that till recently. I have gone to my preferences and it says that it is set to run on battery but doesn't. How do I change it or what does that light mean? please help, this is really annoying.

Your battery is probably dead or dying and isn't rechargable. Laptop batteries like to do that every year or more depending on use. Your best bet is a new battery.
As an afterthought you may check that all the pins are connecting from the placeholder to the terminals on the battery.
Cheers

Check the Dell recall site for laptop batteries. Consumer report found the defect and the rest is history. Don't let your laptop be history. B130, crappy, whatever, I guess you never worked on 25 mhz processors back when Microsoft Word was loaded to memory one disk at a time.

Your laptop battery is probably dead, that happened with mine too, and it sucks because some batteries can be expensive. And if money is your problem, and you already hate your laptop, why not just buy a new one and then all your problems are solved. Just dont buy from costco and sams because they load their computers with CRAP!

This most likely means your battery will no longer accept a charge.
