Actually, reading their instructions page again, they are NOT saying they'll replace all battery packs starting with GC/IA/L0/L1 -- all it says is that the battery pack number will start with one of these alphanumeric combos. I'm guessing that all of HP/Compaq batteries start with those numbers, and that info was given just to help us find the right number. This idea seems to be borne out by the fact that no-one on this list (including me) has qualified so far, and they all have IDs starting with GC. -Aravind _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
