By any chance, have you been leaving the machine on, and/or plugged in, with the battery installed in it?

I fried a $200 battery by leaving my PCG-F190 plugged in to the wall all day and night, with the battery in it. I was told to NEVER leave a 100% charged battery in the machine, took that advice, and have gotten a good 2 years out of the replacement battery so far.
