I cant take it back becausye they dont carry this model anymore. And a refund for a battery..that sounds alittle cheap to me.

That's what being a consumer's all about, dude.
Even if you feel cheap and stingy and tight-fisted, money is better in your pocket than in theirs.
I'm more than willing to ask for refunds on faulty lightbulbs. A faulty battery should be no problem!

Its unlikely that Sony would of sent out a crappy battery, usually most battery problems are caused by the user incorrectly charging it or leaving the battery in all the time causing it to chemically degrade.

This is a little off topic, but I think it still applies. My next door neighbor returned a lawnmower he had had and used for over a year. He got a full refund for it too. I have no idea how he managed that one, but the moral of the story is, everything can be returned, so bring your laptop back.

Well, there ya go. Result! 
Usually that happens on phones, tho. I wish they'd actually use people who spoke the language of the nation that is supposed to be calling the number.

Hey i understand that, i just dont like it when they tell you to do something useless that has no effect on the problem.
Ex. Me: I have a battery problem
Him: Go to Esupport.sony.com enter your model number, go to original and download every driver.
