[Ti] smoke from battery compartment of Ti667! Help!!

[Mohit Bhansali]

Yes, certainly a service issue and a potential product
liability issue to say the least.  The irony is that
I've been a lurker on the group and have read the
comments of many here who had Ti problems, software
and hardware related.  I've never had a single
problem.  Thought I was immune. No one is.

I didn't mention this in my original post, but feel
it's necessary to.  After I gingerly released the
battery from its compartment I let it cool down. 
Scared that I had lost my most recent work (a website
I was building in DWMX) I popped the battery back in,
plugged the power cable back in and conventionally
turned the computer on.  Although startup took longer,
I was able to log in and get to my desktop.  Then, I
unplugged the power cord once more.  The same thing
happened.

This is strange stuff people!

Mo

p.s. - what type(s) of remedy do I have in this
situation?
