WHY ARENT SONT RECALLING THESE NOTEBOOK BATTERYS???

[steelem]

Hello all I have an FE21-M & noticed an issue a few months ago that the laptop battery was red hot - & i mean really hot - i also noticed the performance of battery to be really poor but just thought this was down to Vista - 2 days ago my battery was not detected & has subsequently I think it may be dead - I have doen some read ups & believe Sony should be recalling these batteries as they are hazardous & could catch Fire - pls see the threads it looks like all other manufacturers are now recalling batteries made by sony - but why hasnt sony recalled on our laptops??

Hi steelem,

I suspect that the FE21M's battery weren't affected and therefore not included in the voluntary battery replacement program..

All I can suggest is that you contact Vaio support again, you can do this either by phone or via e-Support, use the following link to find the contact details: Sony Vaio Support

FE21M is affected. At least mine. Exactly after 13 months battery dissapeared from the system. Problem lies in recharging, which doesn't stop even if battery is full 100%. This is laptop fault which kills battery. I have bought new battery now and it repeats the same pattern. To save my battery from breaking it I need to remove it from the laptop or disconnect power supply.
