Flaming ThinkPad battery: It's a Sony
Lenovo has confirmed the battery that caught fire in a Thinkpad notebook at Los Angeles International Airport was indeed a Sony, just like the exploding battery that is believed to have caused an evacuation at Yahoo yesterday.
Lenovo uses Sony batteries but was not part of the massive recall and said last week its laptops were safe.
Sorry, Lenovo. And what if a plane had crashed because of it? Maybe you should have played it safe?
CNET Asia reports: "[We] are pretty certain the Korean and Australian national carriers may be considering adding ThinkPads to the list of banned laptops on their flights."
Let's hope other airlines follow until the risk is gone.
