A slow blink with the battery status LED is typically a sign of a bad battery, it has either failed or is so confused it can't figure out what the status is. Which B118 model do you have? It should be something like TMB118-xxx-xxxx and the full model number is on the same sticker as your serial number. We can also figure it out using just the first ten digits of your serial number.

On most of these models there is a battery reset pinhole on the bottom of the laptop. You can force a reset of the battery internal stats by first disconnecting everything from the laptop with it shut down, including the charger. Next use a SIM tool or bent paper clip to press and hold the reset button for 15-30 seconds. Release the button and wait 15-30 minutes to make sure all residual electricity is bled off, then plug only the charger back in. Wait for the battery indicator to show a full charge (typically the color changes to blue) then try turning it back on.

If that doesn't work then likely your next step, assuming it's not under warranty, is to replace the battery. If we knew which specific model you had we could get you a part number for that replacement.
