That's good :>) but it gets me worried. How can I tell if my Clevo laptop doesn't use the same type of battery as the Dell? Brian
I was thinking that last night, surely it is not just dell having this problem. My DELL laptop died two weeks ago so I am not bothered about it.
there is a website with battery model numbers. so go find it and see if your battery is called in. otherwsie you are ok [got this info from a mate who bought a dell recently and his battery is ok according to the dell list re recalls]
Yeah, bet the brown stuff will keep hitting the fan for a long time yet. I just leave my non Dell laptop where it cant do any harm if it goes bang and wear my asbestos undies on the very rare occasions when I use it on my lap.
I had mine for nearly 4 years and on a few occasions I left it sitting on the lounge overnight downloading stuff I look back now and think wow I was lucky. Bloody thing stopped working last year as if it had no power took it to a local store they said mother board had gone and charged me just under $700 to replace it. The same thing has happened this week. If the motherboard goes would the charge light stop lighting up, is it connected to the power supply, battery or mother board. I may just need a new powerpack Now i read my first line it probably overheated from the lounge. No I had it sitting in a book to let air circulate.
