14 months ago I bought 2 sony latops; one small VGN-tx5xn & the huge beast with the blue ray drive and the 1920x1600 20 inch screen.
How come both batteries go dead exactly after 13 months (garuantee is for 12 months on battery)??
After a lot of searching I find a phone number in Holland that puts me thru to a guy in Belgium where a nice guy tells me to send the laptop to him and for 200 euro they will check it and each battery would cost 300 euro ex VAT ....damn.
So 2x200 and 2x300 + 19% VAT
Cheaper to buy 2 new latops then.....
Tried to order the batteries from another supplier then Sony...bit cheaper...but...not in stock...delivery up to 8 fucking weeks.
bad bad bad; Sony..don't buy one.
