Battery wont pop out of laptop...;-(

[sonic]

I have an HP dv6000 series laptop...the battery is fairly new, bought from Battdepot (dont ask)

anywho..its STUCK...ive tried everyway imaginable. it wont budge. there is a little button that usually just SLIDES . should i keep fiddling with it or take it to the nearest repair shop?

Has this happened to anyone else?

some discussion here, it seems like that poster is using a knife to flip the latch up.

(up-date)

so i took it one repair shop...they tried to get it out but were afraid of causing damage...so off to another. they tried for 2 hrs to get it out & finally did.
I am out $50-

sooooo...now what?
The refund policy for battdepot is 30 days..i have had it 6wks. so they dont HAVE to give me a refund, but i SURE dont want another one of thier crappy a$$ batterys b/c im afraid the same thing will happen.

what would you do?

I would put the battery back into the laptop and use it until it died. Then pay another $50 to replace it as necessary.

sorry...guess i forgot to mention the battery was "faulty"..this is why i wanted it OUT of my lap. it kept shutting down my laptop & making wierd noise.
so you can see why i dont want to try another one of thier batterys.


Looks like i DONT have a choice.... ;-(
