    Has anyone else had problems with their Vaio battery (VGP-BPS2C) no longer being recognized as connected to their SZ laptop? A new battery fixes the problem however, I have burned through two in about 15 months of ownership. Both of the batteries seemed healthy and would hold a good (~3hr) charge imediately prior to this battery recognition problem.

    Thanks for the responses. I am trying to figure out what to do as Sony claims batteries are not covered by their 1 year warranty.

    Well, there are 2 predictions I am making right now

    1. likely one, in 15 months, since eveybody knows Sony makes below standard batteries, they might have burned out. Like, Li ion doesn't hold charge anymore.

    2.a little bit less likely one:
