    Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like my X120e is affected...

    T410 but no T410s if I'm reading this right. We have a couple of T410s models at work.

    Do you have the 6 or 3-cell?

    Slashgear's report had a picture of a 6-cell and I played around and that is included. Going to check my 6-cell tonight.

    6-cell manufactured by Sony in 12/2010. I didn't use their .exe tool, but entered my battery serial number, and the website returned that it wasn't covered.

    I guess it's definitely not the Sony ones. I have a Sony in 03/2011, not part of it as well.

    Oh well... there goes a new battery...

    I have a Sanyo battery, x120e bought in 2014/04, but my battery's P/N wasn't on the list.
