One possiblity, just off the top of my head, is that the battery is beginning to fail and not quite get to a full charge...

I think what mjc is saying is this:
Notebook batteries are usually groups of cells wired together into a pack. If one of those cells in a pack is bad, the charging circuits will try to charge but never achieve full charge, so the orange light stays on.
