Battery from Recall program

Hi there,
I just receive my new battery from the recall program. My preliminary usage for the battery, from charged to discharged, is around 3 hours, medium lightning, no CDs, regular usage. I thought the new batteries are suppose to last around 5 hours? Is there anyways i can check if the battery is new? I live in Indonesia currently and i am afraid that the vendor over here might switched the battery...

3 hours sounds about right to me. The 5 hour claim really only applies if the computer is essentially idle, screen backlight turned almost all the way down, energy saving settings at maximum - in other words, it's the maximum time the battery may last.
I've never seen a Albook (or older TiBook) get more then 3 to 3.5 hours with normal use (example, e-mail, web browsing, word processing).

Replacement battery from recall worse than old one

I received my replacement battery, which I assumed would be new, but it is not doing a very good job of keeping a long charge. Whereas my old battery could give me over 3 hours if I optimized my settings, my new one barely gives me 2. Anyone else get a less than desirable battery after the recall?

Ok, have done two deep cycles, and the meter won't get above 3 hours, then drops and fluctuates a lot between 2:30 and 2:40. At the moment it's at 2:34 and 93%.
The original battery got to over 4 hours when charged, and the meter sometimes touched 5 hours.
Cheers Apple. I now have a battery that's (according to the gauge) not so good for a day of portable use. I'd like the old one back, please!

Defective Battery from Battery Recall

To whom it may concern at Apple:
One of my old laptops ( 15" Powerbook G4 ) was one of the thousands affected in the last battery recall incident.
Like many other users I filled out the necessary forms and I got the "non defective" battery replacement on the mail just a few days later. (This was about 4 - 5 months ago).
I then started using the new battery instead of the recalled one. I was supposed to mail the first battery and I never did, I put it in the shipping box and I kept postponing it till I forgot about it.
I'm sure I'm not the first one, but today I am glad I didn't.
A few months ago I got a mac book pro, so I was going to sell my Powerbook, but I noticed that this "new non defective battery" stop re charging, just like that, quick it stopped working, I can't use my computer unless I leave it plugged to the charger or my previous "recalled battery" Now, keep in mind that I had this first battery (the recalled one) since I bought the computer almost 3 years ago (2 years and 10 months to be exact) and the battery still works perfect.
No big deal I thought, the $349 I have spent on the apple care extension program will bring me "peace of mind", so I went to my local Apple Store were after running a test on the battery in question the store technician told me that the battery can't be replaced if its over 300 cycles (this number was never voiced before until he told me that the battery had around 320 cycles.
So just in case, he decided to run a test on my other battery (the recalled one) which I brought to the store with the only intention to show that the computer worked perfect with that battery.
So this test came to the magic number of 500 cycles, and still works perfectly.
So just to remind you:
Old recalled battery:
Over 500 cycles: Almost 3 years in use: Working perfectly today.
New replacement battery:
A bit over 300 Cycles: 4 months of use: Currently not working.
Can someone explain to me how come the number of cycles is so close, yet the actual time of usage is clearly far apart?
Can you even reach 300 cycles in 4 months?
Let me state that I have never dropped the battery, it has not a single scratch on it, it looks brand new.
So now, I have to pay $125 for a battery that I received as a replacement of a "defective battery" (that still works perfectly) to replace this new "non defective battery that died on my in only 4 months, as a loyal Apple customer from many years (since 1995) I feel cheated, I feel abused and I find this to be unfair.
When I first bough the computer in question (brand new at the apple store) it had 1 dead pixel on the screen, 1 month later I realized that, and I took it to the store, they said "you need to have 7 dead pixels in order for us to repair your screen". Computer was under warranty, I bought it brand new, it was clearly a manufacturing mistake, and they said they cant help me, (I bought a refurbished laptop before that, with not a single problem, yet something new at the store (sold at a higher price) comes defective) how can something like this happen? I don't know, but you know what I counted it as my loss, and eat it. But I am tired of being pushed around, always that SKETCHY number (7 pixels, 300 cycles) there is always an excuse for the warranty not to work.
This is not about the money, (remember I have the "so called defective battery" still working perfectly), this is about principle.
My battery is defective you should either fix, it or replace it with one that works, that is what I have my extended warranty for.
I am extremely disappointed.

Hi, Miguel. You make a pretty good argument for yourself, but Apple isn't going to read it here. These are user-to-user forums, not user-to-Apple forums. You need to take this up with Applecare, and keep asking to have it escalated to the next level, if you're going to get anywhere with it.
It does seem highly improbable — but not impossible — that your new battery went through 300 charge cycles in 4 months. That would be about 2-1/2 cycles per day.

Multiple Batteries and Battery Recall Program

Hi,
I've just been on vacation, and while I was on holiday I found out about the battery recall program. Since I wanted to save time waiting for a new battery I entered my Powerbook serial # and the battery # into the recall website. Both of these were accepted and I received a confirmation email.
I have a 2nd battery that I use on long-haul flights (ie USA) but did not take this to Europe (I'm from the UK). Now that I have returned home I have found this battery is also covered by the recall programme. I've tried to enter this battery's serial # into the website but since I've already entered the Powerbooks serial # for the previous battery it doesn't let me order a replacement battery...
I'm confused why this should happen as multiple batteries are allowed for on the web form...
How should I proceed...?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

How should I proceed...?
Welcome to the Apple discussions.
I believe you can call Apple, as well as enter the information on the web.

Battery recall program still operating

Battery recall program still operating

I had put in for a replacement battery back in December, and got a confirming e-mail with an "Order number". The e-mail also mentioned it would take 7 to 9 business days for the new battery to arrive.
-NOTE: The order number for these replacement batteries is NOT the same as a regular purchase from the Apple Store, so you can't track it through their website.
I figured the delay might be in part due to the Holidays too, so I waited some more. I'd been like a kid expecting a present, waiting for it to show up, but it hadn't as of 1/19.
My patience was running out, so I called Apple [800-275-2273] yesterday afternoon. The representative I spoke with tried for around 45 minutes to find information, etc. He had no luck, so he finally connected me with a Senior Advisor who was able to locate the Order Number [he said], and found that it was still being processed, but should arrive within a week.
I've got his e-mail to contact him if it doesn't show up.
LONG STORY SHORT, yes, the battery exchange is still being honored by Apple. It just might take longer than the 7-9 busniess days they claim.
Hope this helps!

Battery recall program

We have some batteries with the batteries error (see http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=BATT-LENOVO). We have recalled the affected batteries and get a confirmation number that was in November 2007. Since this time point we wait or the replacement battery
We tried to connect the support center at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-4HWSE3, but they know nothing about battery recall program and can not help.
Now, I don't know which service number I can call or mail address, which is responsible for this battery program. Does anyone know a contact for this battery program? Have I any chance to get new batteries?

Guten Tag Ewa,
I just went to the following link: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?doctypeind=100&template=%2Fproductselection%2Flandingpages%2FhotNewsLandingPage.vm&sitestyle=lenovo
put in the information about my machine, and went to the Product Recalls page, and there they talk about the battery recall program (which you can get in German if you like).
I needed to have the battery replaced in two machines, and it did take a while, but I kept after it and got them eventually. Good luck. Post again if you don't get results.

Remanufactured Battery from Lenovo Outlet

Hello,
I ordered a remanufactured 6-cell battery from Lenovo Outlet during their promotion period last month. It arrived last Friday. Everything looked fine when I unpacked it.
However, when I checked the ASM (92P1142) and FRU number (42T4777). It looks like that ASM is on the recall list years ago. This battery pack is manufactured by Sony with cycle count of 0. I am concerned of the safety issue and email Lenovo Outlet. They told me to call technical support department. I tried this afternoon and waited for over 20 minutes without any human representative asking my call.
Anybody has similiar experience or can answer my question? TIA.

Ghosting should be part of a recall program

At the end of 2012 I bought a MacBook Pro Retina.
At the end of first year of warranty (in Italy there's only a year of warranty for who need an invoice), I visited an Apple Store to asking them about the Ghosting issue of my MacBook (that visit has not tracked in the Apple systems, I don't know why). In any case the answer was "It is not an issue".
Some weeks ago, I visited again an Apple Store thinking that the recall program for displays was done to repair Retina's Mac with my issue, but also this time is not my turn!
So, I paid about € 2.800,00 to hear every time "but why you didn't buy an Apple Care program"? Apple Care for a MacBook is now priced € 349,00! Are you serious?
4 hours of work and baam... my code (or mail or anything) is readable from my Login page. Where's my privacy? (my crazy Ghosting is visible here: http://cl.ly/image/1F0y1t0h2H3C and here http://cl.ly/image/0F3W0o311R2u )
I think that Apple should consider Ghosting to be part of a recall program.
What do you think?

try appleserver.school it should automatically add .local
to the name.
I haven't used workgroup only advanced mode, in advanced when you get to entering the servers FQDN eg servername.myserver.com depending on what version your working with the local name will automatically be filled out as servername.local.
an older install 10.5 (I think)didn't fill out local server name and seemed to default to .private until I clicked on edit then it reverted to .local
trying to ad servername.local manually will be rejected as it's all ready added
the .suffix you just can't see it

Same model, with same capacity. Only certain serial numbers qualify. If your iPod is registerred, you should have received an email from Apple.

Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

Dear Apple Community,
Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
Thanks for your help!
Jeremy Reid

Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
The charging characteristics are handled in firmware. There is no app that would be able to do this. You actually would not want to do this anyway. Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery. While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine. Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery). It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently". It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop. It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.

How to call an alv report from another program and return back

     Hello ,
I am calling one abap program (Prgm B) from another program (Prgrm A).
Here, Prgm B is an ALV report. I have fetch some data from Prgem B that gets stored in an internal table.
Now, I am using below code in Prgrm A,
SUBMIT Prgrm B VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
                      WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar
                      EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

How to find out tcode from a program that can run the same report?

Hello all,
I have a program name and I can see it is successfully proccessed. Now if I want to get the report via a tcode, how can I get it?
How can I find the tcode from the program itself?
Regards,

Hi,
1) Go into SE80, > Enter the name of the program, and press 'Enter'.
2) You will see a folder called 'Transactions' appearing in the object list on the bottom left.
3) Open the folder, and you'll find T.code of that program.
Thanks,
