I have difficulties getting battery replacement for my father's Dell 
Inspiron 600m.
Dell have sent same type of battery to my friend in US, however after I got
it doesn't fit into the battery compartment of the laptop.
Old battery has flat edge, however new battery
has round edge and this round edge is not going into the compartment :(
I have sent them email about this problem a long ago and so far didn't 
receive any response
from them.
I guess they are having huge problem (with this mess) with their battery 
replacement program.
