The majority are built in China (IIPC), and others are in Korea, Malaysia, etc. As for Dell - gotta love this video. Dell burns Willie Nelson's pick 'em up truck.

Dell burns Willie Nelson's pick 'em up truck. Funny... WTF is up with dude's hair and beard? I've heard that the government might intervene and force ALL manufacturers to recall Lithium Ion batteries, since apparantly this has been happening since they came out. Lithium isn't something you want to mess with! Latest I've read on the battery issue. Apparantly Apple also recalled batteries: Quote: Dell and Apple between them need at least 5.8 million replacement batteries. Especially since this isn´t the first laptop battery disaster. Compaq had to recall Sony laptop batteries back in October 2000 through fears of overheating. Interesting read... Apple FTL: Nice BTW, neither of my two batteries are under the Dell recall... BOTH are 1 number higher than the highest recalled ones... hmm... Last edited by Big Daddy Kane; 08/30/06 11:49 PM.

The serial number came up good. I was actually hoping that one would be recalled to see if I could trade up to a high capacity battery.
