DELL Notebook batteries ( prod. by SONY)

[Willi000]

Hi,
today i read that DELL exchanges 4 Million Notebook rechargable batteries cause the could burn in some rare cases. These batteries were produced by SONY.

What you think , are now also our batteries of our VAIO Notebooks in danger ?

Today its PanaSONIc/Matsushita calling back their laptops (CF-W4G)due to overheating caused by batteries. But these ones are not from SONY.
Luckily for Sony Energy Devices - who counts 1.8 million from Apple and 4.1 million from Dell.

I am still wainting for an official statement from SONY cencerning our laptops...

I never knew Panasonic made laptops.

Terrible news anyway

Hi folks!

Update: Toshiba calls back 340000 notebook-batteries made by Sony.
Those have got the numbers PA3465U-1BAS, PA3399U-2BAS, PA3400U-1BAS, PA3465U-1BRS, PA3399U-2BRS oder PA3400U-1BRS.
More detail on their website: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?z=6&service=DE&ID=TOSH...

When will there be updates concerning the batteries in our VAIOs?

BTW, when will be there updates of the normal VAIO-pages? Some links had been new - some years ago.
I'd love to see some drives for VISTA...

Hmm it's getting worse.

Some airlines won't allow you to carry a DeLL or Apple laptop on their planes either.

SORT IT OUT SONY

If we are going to debate this again, at least lets try to stay within 1 thread: Here
