....or any laptop with Sony batteries which affected Sony, Apple, and Dell laptops. Remember the millions on recall? I wonder if I can YouTube the video of the battery bursting into white flames....

While I don't work for a hardware manufacturer, I'm sure there are a thousand things that can go wrong in something as simple as a battery.

Kudos to HP on getting out there and getting this taken care of.
