I bought a new alkaline battery (AA) but after putting it in a device it started leaking a liquid. Can I sue?

If you sue over a battery leaking, then I will sue because I got onions on my hamburger when I asked for no onions.  \n\nKeep it up and you lawsuit happy people will make everything too expensive to own, except to the lawyers who make all the money.

If it's a laptop, check to see if it's warranteed. My friend did that, and the thing was new enough that the company sent a replacement board to a local computer place to replace it for her. You'll want to leave out the "beer" part though when you talk to them. I bought the insurance for just that purpose!She didn't buy insurance, it was basic warrante came w/hers. Until then you should ne able to plug a normal PC keyboard into it and still use it!

Chances are that some of the liquid has got through to the motherboard. I'm afraid that you'll to take to a computer specialist to get it repaired and then I suspect they won't be able to do much at a reasonable cost. It would probably be cheaper to buy a new/secondhand one. Laptops aren't good with liquids, I've had to deal with quite a few.

there is a software called "accumulator training utility". this utility calibrate the "smart chipset" of a notebook battery.\nit does not work for defective batteries, for older and apple notebooks.\n\nhave a look for this utility on ebay in the category notebook batteries.\n\nin my humble opinion this utility is crap, but could work for batteries that have been always decharged only to 50% before recharging again.

Most likely you didn't let the battery get fully charged the first few times before using it..... the more you do that, the less charge the battery can hold + you can only recharge them so many times before they can't be charged anymore and need replacing.\n\nSo, my best guess is that the battery is f***ed to the point where it can't be recharged fully anymore,

do contact the state dental board and lodge your complaint. i personally would speak seriously with my current dentist about what happened and ask his opinion on what additional action he advises if any.

This is what Dell says their current warranty is for their notebook computers.  I'm not sure if they changed it over the last seven months?\n\n"Portable computer batteries and AC adapters carry the lesser of either a 1-year limited warranty or the length of the limited warranty for the Dell computer with which the battery or AC adapter, as applicable, is shipped."\n\nIf your laptop had a one year warranty, then you should be covered.  Go back and look at the paperwork Dell send you when you purchased the laptop.

No offense, but take it to a Professional. You will be better off. If you've got it "in your hands" there's a good possibility your frying it as I type this message.

If it's brand new, just return it and get a new one.  There's no point trying to fix it if it's still under warranty.

violation of probation - battery is the original charge

Depends where you got it from. If it's brand new then take it back and say it doesn't do what you wanted it to do or mark it somewhere and say you noticed it is damaged. Depends on also how long you had it for.

In any liquid spill situation, you must remove the battery immediately, this will prevent or limit short circuiting the motherboard and its non-serviceable parts. Between two evils, its better to loose data than an expensive laptop. keep the console open and let it rest on its side with the power plug port positioned up towards the ceiling, or lean it safely out of the way against a wall, or set it vertically with the monitor being above the console. Give it two weeks to completely dry, more time, if unsure. Please do not open the console casing to use a hair dryer, this could worsen the situation if it is still under warranty.  No guarantee if it already suffered any form of damages.\n~meow

Two things....Try the store where it was bought, talk to the manager. If he can't help you , you might try e-mailing the manufacturer and ask them.

Yes take it to your local store and demand a refund, you paid for a mobile phone and it is clearly faulty.  Inceedently you don't even need a reciept if it is faulty.  If they refuse to refund your money threaten them with small claims court, you are within your rights to your full money back, if it does go to court they will also have to pay court costs so it is within thier interests to just refund you.

Here's a tip, leave the baking soda and something a bit complicated.  Like a Lemon battery. I have a site that has choc loads of interesting things.  Most of all very simple.

Unless they're rechargable batteries no.  If they are take into account if and what water they were exposed to.  Salt water corrodes things so if it came into contact with it just dispose of the batteries.  Battery acid is no fun and ruins clothes and burns like hell.  If it's fresh you have less chance of corrosion.
