The battery in my DV6000 was overheating so bad that it caused burns to my legs, and HP said nothing was wrong...now they are recalling it because they are so bad that they actually explode.

F**K YOU HP!!!

They did it again...the battery code is one letter off of the recall, so they won't replace a battery that gets to hot that I had to remove it to prevent burns. They won't even let me email support; I have to pay to call their support line if I want to complain.

Once again, F**K YOU HP!!!
