MonsieurBond: should you not be getting onto Q Branch for a replacement??

Well, mocking is catching, as it turns out that I do indeed have a battery whose code is on the recall list. So it's battery removed and mains power only for me until I get a replacement from Dell.

The Dell notebook battery recall only affects batteries that were manufactered during a specific time period, and as it's new order you will not be affected, also yes, you can cancel your order anytime with no penalties..you have the right to cancel or ask for a refund within 7 days of purchasing an item and you do not need to give a reason..this is consumer law..for further details go to...www.consumerconnect.ie
 
Apple now have a [broken link removed].
 
Has anybody from Dell or Apple been arrested under anti-terror laws yet for sending out miniature bombs?
 
/jumping up and down screaming I told you I told you

I didnt think the film great as it didnt go into the specifics enough, but michael crichtons book disclosure explains the business world of pc component manufacture and the fine lines between getting it right and wrong. Try and pick it up on paperback for 16 cents if you get a chance.
 
I've got an exploding one too in my Dell Latitude D410 ... I've ordered a replacement

My battery has never got hot so I dont' think it's really likely to explode ... but it's performance has degraded very much over they year I've had it ..am not lucky to get 1hr usage from a full charge - used to go for 2.5-3hrs

So given I was likely going to get a replacement anyway the recall seems to have worked quite nicely .. though I wonder how quickly the replacement will turn up ... I won't be holding my breath - I ordered it about 10 days ago and haven't heard a thing since.
