HA, i’ve got everyone at the university checking there laptops in a panic, its fun.
I just bought a new battery for my laptop because I don’t want anything blowing up on me. It works great and a little piece of mind is great. I got it at http://www.laptopsforless.com/laptopbattery in case anybody wants to check it out. It was really affordable and was delivered quickly. I would recommend it to any frustrated or freaked out laptop user.
what about the hp pavilion dv5120us notebook pc
Nope, I think the dv5120us is just fine at the moment. No recall.
are you sure. is it normal that you laptop gets really hot.
Well, how long have you had it? After about 6 months mine started getting really hot because the airflow was being blocked by dust. Try buying one of those electronic duster cans and spraying in the vents. That worked for me. If that still doesn’t work, then I’d probably call tech support.
Might want to update that list… Sanyo is now recalling batteries as well.
