Laptop batteries exploding
I would feel a little safer looking at these images if I didn’t have a Sony battery in this Dell laptop… on my lap. Of course, I could use my Powerbook but it has a Sony battery as well. My Powerbook battery was already recalled once when I first got it. I have to check if it has been re-recalled. Then I have to check if my Dell battery has been recalled.
No one is sure yet if this Thinkpad explosion involved an actual Sony battery or not (could be a cheap eBay knockoff). At any rate, Sony batteries are being massively recalled for safety reasons.
It’s like another Sony rootkit fiasco but with explosions!
The pictures are from Alan Cox’s Thinkpad explosion.
