batteries are often outside of the warranty.
just spew it and get another, seriously. 3 years warranty on an old machine will get you a new one. Friends here will help you move your material over without pain and you can buy a cheap housing and use your old drive as an external.
Having said that. I think laptops are ridiculous. I have a monster home network and my XDA. Beyond that is useless. My wife has a Macbook pro, which I believe was expensive. It has sat in a cupboard for at least 4 months because she can carry all her needed work around on a PDA and connect to the network with it if she needs more. my laptop serves as a coffee coaster these days.

My laptop is my lifeline
I have it backed up, and I can do pretty much everything I need to maintain/fix it, I'm just worried about the actual cost should a big problem come up.

Here. Have my warranty.
I'll buy you a new one as long as you don't dip it in a lake and keep a proper external backup.

I love my laptop like I would love a hardworking dog
And I would protect it as such
I am however going to bookmark this warranty and make you listen to my naughty swears (from another access point of course) should my faithful dog get something terminal.

I share Zoots feelings about laptops and warranties
just buy a generic battery, and keep the cash for the warranty in your pocket. If your laptops breaks, use the money to fix it. If it doesn't: profit!
I am going to watch a film now.

I do try to find something good.

Do you think there's any actual difference between 'genuine' and generic batteries?
Or to put it another way- enjoy your film you damn slacker!

Not really - I never buy "genuines"
and I've never had a problem.
