Haven't time just now Paddy to go and get the story on exploding lithium
batteries, (smile). Aren't those the batteries that back up bias and
firmware
settings?

Speaking of batteries what about the lithium batteries that where in Dell
machines?
It seems to have taken our newscasters a while to catch these storys but
put, dell lithium batteries explode into google and see what comes up.

Reflecting on Steve's experience with Tosh and need to replace batteries,
just
like to say that I think most stuff that comes with rechargeable
batteries
usually seem to be equipped with unintelligent chargers that don't know
when
enough is enough.
I recently got some replacement batteries for my sister's cordless phone
which
had reached the stage of near unusability because the batteries had been
charged to death. She was all for throwing the phone out, but four or
five
quid spent on a triple A pack of rechargables solved the problem. I've
told
her she should keep the phone off the charging cradle and Waite until the
meter on the phone register's very low and then recharge for 6 to 8
hours,
and
this is working out fine with the phone lasting nearly a week between
charges.
I'd say a laptop with an intelligent charger would win my vote if I were
in
the market for one.

I bought a laptop several years ago and the dealer said when you use it
on
the mains, remove the battery unless your charging it. Constant use of
the
machine on the mains with the batter connected aparently can damage it a
little. I found that to be true and ended up buying a new battery.

I have found Toshiba very helpful I use a Toshiba laptop that I bought
from PC World. I am paying some kind of maintenance agreement of £10
per month though so perhaps that helps but I would hate to be without my
laptop.
Actually last night I was using it and everything suddenly went blank,
no sound, no screen so my husband took it into Pc World as I was
otherwise occupied: turned out the battery had become disconnected or
moved slightly. At least now we know to check for that. The guy said
we probably shouldn't use it constantly on the mains or to take out the
battery but I use a cooling board underneath so it wouldn't fit very
firmly on that what do other people do re battery and using laptop from
mains all the time?

Hi all,
Thought I'd e-mail you all to find out what experience you had in
ringing up
Toshiba technical support. My girlfriend's laptop suddenly died last
night
due to a hardware and software failure, and her college warden tried to
ring
up Toshiba all day, with little success. So has any of you had better
luck
with them?
Thanks, and I look forward to hear from you.
