Another burst A1189 battery that doesn't fit within the recall

Battery model A1189, Serial No. 6N64905XW4HB. Was doing the abrupt shut offs, started about a month ago. Battery Update and all other patches were current. Now its bulged out and is now unsafe if usable at all. But I guess that's my problem, not Apple's. Sorry your power source is obviously defective, but we can't help you. Great service.
Whats scary is the new ones that are now inside the case, where will those have room to bulge out of? And will Apple say you're SOL if you don't fit what they determined to be the range of serial numbers that were bad?

Glad you got your issue sorted.

Apple doesn't make their own batteries. They use batteries made by Sony, SMP, etc. If your colleagues want to discuss the batteries in Lenovo laptops, which you call 'pretty decent', you might refer them to this article discussing the recall of over half a million batteries in Lenovo laptops, and the related incident at the LA International Airport in which a Lenovo T43 caught fire due to a faulty battery.
Just some food for thought...
As a side note, a brand new Lenovo T400 that my work's IT department issued to me last week died this morning - it fails to boot beyond the initial BIOS screen. That Lenovo was my fifth work-provided PC laptop in the past 3 years. My 3-year old MBP is working just perfectly...and I'm still productive at work at this very moment because I'm running an image of a corporate Windows installation via Parallels on my MBP.

  • I ordered some RAM but it doesn't fit inside the slot.

    I discussed purchasing some RAM and was told that this product would work for my G5. However upon recieving the product I discovered that doesn't work and doesn't even fit inside the slot!
    My question to you is what is the problem... and what type of RAM do I really need to order. Thanks...

    I have the newest model for the Powermac G5's and its the 1999$ model. So its Dual 2.0 Ghz. The part that doesn't fit is the little "u" in the center where it has to correspond for the slot. That "u" is maybe a centimeter off from being in the correct spot. It would be nice if someone could just post a link on newegg.com of RAM that is known to work and is 2x 1 GBs chips.

  • On my Yahoo Mail everything is sooo large it doesn't fit on the screen. Google Chrome isn't like that on this computer. How can I make it all fit with Firefox? It's really annoyingut

    Yahoomail the text and everything is so large it doesn't fit on the screen. I always have to scroll left and right to read my mail. It's really annoying. I don't know how to adjust that . I tried Google Chrome and it was more normal. Everything fit. I prefer Firefox so what can be done about this?

  • I am having difficulty including text with iPhotos I want to share through email.  I get a red exclamation mark along with a statement stating that the text doesn't fit into the designated text area.  This is so frustrating.

    I am having difficulty including text with iPhotos I want to share through email.  I get a red exclamation mark along with a statement stating that the text doesn't fit into the designated text area.  This is so frustrating. Before iLire11 I was easily able to share photos with email messages.  Arghhhh!

    In the iPhoto preferences you can set Apple Mail as your e-mail client and then it will work exactly as before

  • My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad.

    My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad. How do I over ride this problem. How do I import photos from an Olympus FE-340 directly to my IPad?

    Your camera uses an OLympic XD picture card http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-xD-Picture-Memory-202332-package/dp/B002LC2DQ4/ref =pd_sim_sbs_p_1 This card has different dimensions compared to an SD card.
    You should be able to plug the cable that came with your camera into the camera connection kit to import the pics.

  • The font size is so big my desktop doesn't fit on the screen

    The font size is so big my desktop doesn't fit on the screen and can't figure out how to fix it.

    There solutions in the "More like this" list on the right.
    If this behaviour is system wide you have to choose another reslotution in SystemPreferences/Displays.

  • When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off. Is there any solution?

    When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off.
    I'm very sure my printer is set cirrectly.
    Can't Firefox shrink to fit when I want to print a selected area of web pages?
    This has never occurred in IE.

    File >Page Setup -- check your margins, I have set size to 85% which is probably left over from some problem. Also check your printer that it is correctly set to the size of the paper.

  • Trying to clean up my iMac.  Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder.  Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

    Trying to clean up my iMac.  Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder.  Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

    DO NOT remove either folder. DO NOT mess with any OS X system files either. If you have dupliocates check your files in iPhoto, iTunes and your iMovies libraries. Also check your data files, under ALL circumstances stay away from any OS X systems files or you will probably bork your Mac to the point it will not run.

  • Why my form doesn't fit in the navigator window?

    Why my form doesn't fit in the navigator window?.
    When I execute the form from navigator the form appears in but the size is less than the size of the explorer and shows shows vertical and horizontal scrollbars. What can I do to avoid this?, Is there any solution different than modify all my forms?, Is there any way to configure my navigator?
    Sorry if I'm slighty off topic

    We also faced this problem but now we have made changes in formsweb.cfg file by setting SeprateScreen=true value and restarting form server.
    This will open forms in new window instead of same.
    I hope this will work for you also.

    Hi pvonk,
    Thanks for the tip...I just logged onto iCloud.com and the folders/mail are correct (compared to my laptop). This tells me the problem is on my phone. So I will try an erase/restore to see what that does!
    thanks,

  • Even though my apps are all closed, my battery is still draining 10% within the space of a minute, so what's up?

    Even though my apps are all closed, my battery is still draining 10% within the space of a minute?

    Does it do that also in Airplane mode?
    If yes, back to the Apple store (make an appointment first).

  • Is there a way to view/delete apps that won't fit on the 11 screens?

    I have more apps than fit on the 11 available screens - is there a way to view/delete apps that aren't on the 11 screens? I know I can launch them from the search facility, but that doesn't give me a comprehensive list or the ability to remove?

    You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

  • T61, OCZ Agility 3 doesn't fit in the HDD cage

    Hi all
    So, I finally bought myself an SSD for my old ThinkPad. Works wonderfully - except that it doesn't fit quite right. 
    The OCZ Agility 3 is slightly too wide for the HDD cage, on the bottom of the drive. Recall that the drive sits bottom side up in the ThinkPad, and that the cage sits on that side. My drive doesn't fit that way, however it does fit beautifully with the HDD cage turned upside down (obviously you can't screw the drive to the cage this way, but that is not a problem)
    Now for my question: there is two metal tongues in the top of the HDD compartment, that I'm quite sure should be in contact with the HDD cage - which they now are not. Is my drive now not electrically shielded the way it should be, or what is the purpose of these?
    I could cut some plastic off from the drive and make it fit the right way, but I'm pretty sure that would void the warranty of the drive, something I don't want to do. The ThinkPad on the other hand, is long out of warranty. Answers, information and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely /O8h7w 
    A few thoughts that fled from the head of O8h7w
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That is strange that the drive is wider than a normal drive!
    You don't really need the cage. You can get away with just sliding on the rubber boots, and put a piece of wide tape folded over on the drive so that you can pull it out if needed.
    Enjoy the SSD!

  • Can I format a finished movie so that it will fit within a normal tv....

    I finished a 2 hr movie with many 'music video titles' throughout and when I went to play it on my TV (which is not HD or plasma) nearly half of all my titles were cut off by the edge of the screen and even the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to 'reformat' so that the entire iMovie HD screen will fit within my TV screen and all the remaining space will be filled with black? Basically, I need to zoom out my entire project.
    thanks in advance

    What you've discovered is known as the TV Safe area. You can view it in iDVD prior to burning but iMovie doesn't show the area.
    MPEG Streamclip can "rescue" your Project so you don't have to redo all of your titles. It can "zoom" (in or out) and then export your Project back to DV Stream for use in iDVD.
    Trial and error on how to use the feature. The software is free.
