Welcome to Club Vaio.<BR /><BR />Is the battery a genuine Sony replacement?<BR /><BR />Many batteries advertised on the web or eBay are not compatible (even though they sway they are). The Vaio runs a test on the battery every time you start the Vaio and unless they pass this test they are not recognised.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.si/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:53:47 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/my-brand-new-battery-is-not-recognised/m-p/63897#M51787 Blencogo 2009-09-19T18:53:47Z
