The fine folks over at The Enquirer dot Net filed this report on June 21st of this year. Their pictures were impressive.

Quality Control

To check to see if your Dell Notebook is about to declare jihad against you visit Dell’s Battery Replacement Program website at www.dellbatteryprogram.com They are very good about taking care of problem machines, the folks over at Dell. But lately they have had to shell out a lot of bucks the Quality Controll people there should have caught.
Kudos to Dell for making things right with a minimum of hassle.
