Why doesn't Dell...

...just recall all their laptops (period). 95% of them run way too hot. Forget the battery. The entire system needs better cooling.

Dell 600M .. getting hot

Yeah. I agreed with Joe. My Dell Laptop 600M I bought a month back is getting too hot and my hard disk drive got crashed yesterday. Now, I lost all my data in that HDD. Even, some of my friends who bought Dell Laptop 600M got the same problem or over heating and HDD noise.

Just try to convince

Hah, these companies, and cell phone makers tell you , that you have to use "brand name" batteries so that this won't happen. Guess they were buying the battery materials from the same cheap place as the non-OEM's, just rebranding them and jacking up the price.

The website doesn't work

The website listed for the battery recall problem doesn't work. If you try to actually input your battery serial no to get a replacement one the site always errors out. It's amazing that Dell cannot even make one website work for small recall.

XBOX USE "DELL" BATTERIES?

Riddle: What do XBOX's and Dell have in common?

Answer: They both overheat and stop working!

surprised

I am atonished dell would do anything but rip a person off. I have dell now - NEVER AGAIN.
You have a problem, go to the moon for help. Probably easier and more likely to receive it than from dell
