It`s better if you ask around on the Sony forums, based on what Sony laptop you have. I`ve read that this problem can be solved by flashing the BIOS and deleting the sony monitoring program.

I had to send my battery back to China! The same practice bleeds into other areas too. I just paid $519.00 to replace the headlights on my Prius. How many miles did I need to drive to save that much money on gas? I guess the wise thing to do is ask about peripherals----before buying the product. I tend to agree with most of the above comments.

I have been to all the sony's websites, looked in eBay, and have done numerous Google searches looking for a ORIGINAL SONY BATTERY and guess what? can't find it anywhere, even doing a site search at sonystyle.com using the battery AND laptop model number......you know what? Serves me right...

Today, for the first time in about 2 months, I got this lockout message. What a nuisance! And why now?? I understand about battery problems, but let's get real here. 2 months with no lockouts and no problems... I terminated the process mentioned above and I'm running just fine...the only side effect I can see is that the battery indicator on the laptop is blinking, not steady.

The company has a long history of user lock-in attempts, like the overpriced memorystick, for example. They would probably fill the batteries up with proprietary Sonytronic® electrons if they could. On the other hand, Sony did lose about half a billion dollars recalling explosive laptop batteries over the past couple of years, so they'll probably claim they're just being careful in this case.

My experience is that generic is often a synonym for worse quality. Have you considered that you may just have bought a shitty battery?
