Batteries that may be affected have specific serial numbers, details of which can be found on the CSPC site, here. People with batteries in the range should immediately take the battery out and contact HP for a replacement. No one has been injured, according to the CSPC. The most spectacular pictures of batteries exploding came in 2006, when the Inquirer, a British web site, obtained pictures of a Sony laptop going up in flames.
