Qantas Airlines cautions use of Dell laptops During Flight

By

Australia’s Qantas Airways is telling passengers with Dell laptops that they might not be able to recharge their machines in-flight due to the battery recall that is causing laptops to burn up! This makes sense as the last place you want to see a laptop start to burn up is on an airplane in the middle of a flight! Dell customers can find out more about the recall by visiting the Dell Web site or by calling toll-free in the U.S. at 1-866-342-0011, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. U.S. Central Daylight Time.

Qantas said laptops with batteries that are subject to the recall and that have not yet been replaced can be used on flights, but only on battery power or through the onboard power supply with the batteries removed.
