Computer giant Apple is recalling 1.8m batteries used in its laptop computers worldwide after overheating complaints.

The announcement affects laptop computers - the iBook G4 and Powerbook G4 - sold between October 2003 and August 2006.


I've heard that a number of Apple stores in Korea have closed, e.g., the Coex location. Any ideas about where I can get my battery replaced?

The Apple website is a good start.

What a coincidence, Mac-heads may not have paid attention to PC news, but DELL just recalled 4.1 million batteries...
