Laptop (Spectre) power problem. Light very slowly blinks amber

[tomconhp]

Will not boot, appears dead. Held power button down for 15+ seconds to make sure totally off. When i plug in charging chord, get a quick flash of orangeish-amber (definitely not the usual white as when it was working) on the indicator light. The light itself seems to be flashing quickly on (orangeish-amber) about once every 30-60 seconds or so.  Very very intermittently in other words. Replaced the power chord once and it only worked for a short time then back to same behavior, so i do not think it is the power chord.

Any suggestions?  Is the only option to take it to the shop for repair?

Thank you.
