1191940 2011-04-04 10:01:00 Was sitting on sofa watching Top Chef when LT battery started smoking! Ripped it out before any damage was done (phew).

Question is, where can I find new one?

PS: I want preferably an original one cheap.
PPS: IBM T43. I also want user feedback on what dealers are good

1191942 2011-04-04 11:14:00 Hmm. I don't know really as my warranty may be void (LT 5 years old). It only held 30 min of charge so it was long overdue. I don't know if this will affect it but I took the cells out of the casing as I wanted the case of the battery to protect the bare contacts. bot (15449)
1191943 2011-04-04 11:15:00 It has also had a Win7 install and a new HD in it as well.

OK, it now comes up saying "The battery bar code format is not recognized".

BTW, I got this second hand

1191945 2011-04-04 21:09:00 If you want original, NZ can be $$, so try eBay if TM doesn't have it.

Between, I got a new original battery for my X61T which I bought the used laptop the battery didn't hold a charge ....

Even off-brands are not that cheap in NZ min of $90 depending on your laptop model I guess .....
