John Kettler Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 You may have a defective battery which can cause problems ranging from heat discomfort to a fire. Apple's recalling batteries for models specified in the article, in which you'll find a hyperlink to the Apple site with a press release and recall instructions. Fortunately, nothing as bad as what happened to Dell notebook users has been reported so far. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5283424.stm Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Here is the Apple link to the programme: https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange Excellent timing. For the last four weeks I have been holding off on buying a new battery, since the old one is pretty much dead (1 hour lifetime). Thanks for the heads-up. All the best Andreas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
