For those of you who are using HP notebooks check whether you are eligible for a battery pack replacement. HP is recalling battery packs that came with their notebooks.
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, on October 14, 2005, HP announced a worldwide voluntary recall and replacement program for battery packs used in certain HP notebooks.HP customers affected by this program will be eligible to receive a replacement battery pack for each verified, affected, recalled battery pack at no cost.
HP and the battery pack cell manufacturer have identified a defect in assembled battery packs manufactured between March 2004 and September 2004. HP considers the defect to pose a potential safety hazard to end users.
Notebook models that were affected can be found at HP Mobile Battery Pack Replacement Program site.
Unfortunately the site’s validator is not working. I was going to have my battery pack validated but I keep on getting runtime errors. I hope they fix it as soon as possible.

Verizon is about the only place you can get the authentic RIM product and matching door. Most other sites are out of stock and even when they are in stock they have the black battery door which looks like crap.
Thanks for the nice read, keep up the interesting posts…..
“thanks,I love my laptop, and in general I’m very happy with it. It does look like there’s a trend toward premature battery failure, though, and if your situation is severe enough you may be eligible for a warranty replacement.

It seems like there is a new product recall every few days. I am especially concerned about all the recalls on batteries and office products. I now have a personal file that alerts me to office product recalls. I also receive timely notices when one of my batteries has been recalled. You can receive the recalls and update notices at the product blog page.

Dell computers in general SUCK, their computers over heat and they
all can burst into flames. Dell rips the consumers off with their
pricing and selling equipment that has bad components in them.
they were in the news last year about their components beeing bad
in all their computers. Their customer servise is bad and
if you upgrade or change anything on their computers your warrenty is VOID.
HP has many sponsorships. One well known sponsorship is of Walt Disney World’s Epcot Park’s Mission: SPACE. Others can be found on Hewlett-Packard’s website [2]. From 1995 to 1999 they were the shirt sponsor of English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. They also sponsored the BMW Williams Formula 1 team. Hewlett-Packard also has the naming rights arrangement for the HP Pavilion at San Jose, home of the San Jose Sharks NHL hockey team.
