Anyone with a Dell Laptop PLEASE READ

Post by Gator »

Dell has identified a potential issue associated with certain batteries sold with Dell Latitudeâ„¢, Inspironâ„¢, XPSâ„¢ and Dell Precision Mobile Workstationâ„¢ notebook computers. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, Dell is voluntarily recalling certain Dell-branded batteries with cells manufactured by Sony and offering free replacements for these batteries. Under rare conditions, it is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire.

Click on the link below to check and see if your battery is affected.

Love my Powerbook G4 - great unit. I just happen to be responsible for about 15 laptops in my company and most of them are Dell's, so I am tuned into the news about them. Just thought I'd share it with our users!

Thanks, Gator.
My seventeen year old daughter just bought a Dell laptop for college. She's taking it to a friend's to check out the battery tonight. I didn't have a clue where to look, or if taking the battery our would damage anything. Better left to kids!
But thanks for the heads up.
