    Affected models include computers in the company’s T Series (T43, T43p, T60),


    What about earlier Ts? Am I safe with my T40?

          That's not really what I meant.

          Does your T40 have a Sony battery? There, that's better.

                My original T40 battery is not a Sony. I bought a new battery in May which is a Sony...

                  I wouldn't worry about it too much. The failure rate is still pretty low.
