Many of you have probably seen on the news that Dell has recalled 4 million laptops because the batteries could potentially catch on fire. These are laptops (or replacement batteries) which were bought between April 1, 2004 and July 18, 2006. The following machines are included:
Latitude: D410, D500, D505, D510, D520, D600, D610, D620, D800, D810

Precision: M20, M60, M70, M90

We were recently given a list of service tag numbers for machines at OSU which are affected. I have attached that list as a pdf. Please check the service tag number on the bottom of your laptop to make sure your laptop is not on the list. If it is, you should go to the following website for information on how to get it replaced - https://www.dellbatteryprogram.com/Default.aspx.
