They sometimes do, but then it's obvious that the laptop has been damaged by battery so the user would better show remnants of a genuine one before asking for warranty replacement.
- Klathmon 11y agoBut warranty replacement is only one aspect, what happens when a social media website gets a tweet from someone saying their lenovo exploded? Something like that could significantly hurt the brand
- qb45 11y agoVarious battery powered devices, including laptops, have been in use for decades. How many times somebody publicly blamed 3rd party battery failure on device vendor? Links or it doesn't happen.
- frankchn 11y agoNot batteries, but Apple has had problems with third party chargers in the past. The initial reports often do not say whether a third party charger/accessory is used and just says things like "Chinese flight attendant electrocuted after picking up charging iPhone 5", which is not a good look for Apple. * http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2484293,00.asp http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2484293,00.asp * http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/chinese-teen-dies-charging-iphone-electrocutes-article-1.1886994 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/chinese-teen-dies-char...
- reirob 11y agoThis was the case with non-Apple iPhone chargers that damaged the iPhones. I've seen it on TV in France. I would reckon that it strengthened the Apple brand, because since then more users were afraid to buy non-Apple accessories. However it didn't make Apple move to change their interface to a standard USB like other vendors have. So much for brand damage.
