Loading ...Yet another laptop battery has ignited! This time a ThinkPad caught fire in LAX airport. According to CNET the ThinkPad was a T43, which usually ship with a Sony battery. If you have been following the time-bomb battery news, Sony battery is the culprit of many exploding and burning laptops. Many airlines taken precaution by not allowing battery powered laptop on the flight. So I don’t think Sony is off the hook yet on this matter.

So there are thousands (if not millions) of laptops out there, and a miniscule, almost immeasurable number of these have had this problem, and yet we’re all in a panic?
Yep, sounds like America to me. *sigh*
heheheh if i were the laptop owner with sony battery i will be panic lol
ah yes. They may even make a movie out of this some day. Think of the potential.
My only concern is the complete banning of laptops in general on airplanes. Bad Sony…bad…bad…bad!
