We called Dell and they informed us the BATTERY was not under the warrenty and it would cost us $350.00 to $500.00 for another battery.  <br>Even thou mine is not listed in the recall, I wonder if it was defective?<br>Our friends have laptops that have older batterys than that.  We have had to send it back to the company twice for the board. I am done with Dell.<br>Maybe I'll make a video on the computer and that will get their attention on the quality of their computers]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Terri]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2008 2:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</guid><description><![CDATA[Could you be more specific on the battery make and model number, also which Acer laptops? Is it certain brands or all of Acer? Where do you turn them in? I brought my Ferrari 1000 (Acer) in Nagoya Japan, again, is there a certain place to turn these into? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2008 3:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why is there no phone number or address to send these recalled batteries back and when you call Sony or the company they came from, NO ONE knows anything?

Why would anyone allow this drivel to be posted...ANYWHERE?  I'm so sick of our media writing these dumbed-down articles as if we were a bunch of drooling idiots.  I have been so displeased with the composition of our news lately it makes me sick.  Anyone who reads this should at the very least feel offended by the media's assumption that we are all a bunch of morons and feel like they have to cater to our "needs".  Come on, people, open your eyes!  If this keeps up then we WILL become a bunch of drooling fools.  Can't the media give us serious news stories anymore without feeling like they need to add some sort of humor to it to keep us interested?  Or, is this how pathetic our society has become?    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jennifer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2008 3:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</guid><description><![CDATA[Take your medications and try to get some sleep dude.<br>Nobody is obliging you to read Engadget instead of the Enceclopædia Britannica or your favorite volume of the yellow pages.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KilgoreTrout]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2008 8:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</guid><description><![CDATA[Take your medications and try to get some sleep dude.<br>Nobody is obliging you to read Engadget instead of the Enceclopædia Britannica or your favorite volume of the yellow pages.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KilgoreTrout]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2008 8:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</guid><description><![CDATA[What about Dell laptop power cords?

ONCE IN A WHILE I like to get online and see what's going on in the world, and I click on something that may seem interesting or useful.  Obviously I don't KEEP reading them.  I'm just stating an opinion that the lot of online articles I have stumbled upon seem to be written for people with IQ's of 47.  Obviously you don't care about reading anything a little more challenging, so why don't you go pick up a Dr. Suess book?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anonymous]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2008 4:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</guid><description><![CDATA[And by the way, it's "offended".

No it is not under the any guarantee to work or to continue to work. If it was then the manufacturer would not be able to sell you more stuff. It's an old the old addage of "planned obselence" which I believe was Mr. Henry Fords theory first.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eileen Fry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 4th 2008 5:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/04/warning-these-gadgets-can-kill/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree with Debbie.
