Toshiba Announces Recall Of Optional e740 High-Capacity Battery
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 PM
Toshiba is recalling the optional high-capacity battery for the e740 series. "When using the optional high-capacity battery in your Toshiba Pocket PC e740, you may experience unexpected shutdowns, hard resets, or inability to turn on your PDA under normal use."
If you have one of these, check the serial number on the back of the battery. If it ends in "A" you are fine. If it doesn't end in the letter "A" you need to contact Toshiba at the phone number listed in the service notice. There is a picture at the Toshiba site to help you identify the serial number.
Update by Janak: If you're willing to take the aforementioned risk of a recall, PPCT reader Reza has discovered a great deal on Toshiba extended batteries.
