If we remember that last year was a different type of ball game altogether for Samsung, the mobile phone and tech.  manufacturing company.
The major news headline was the event of the Galaxy Note7 devices exploding. And they recalled them.
Now Samsung has put it out again to extend the recall date and also expand the recall to all Galaxy Note7 Devices according to the company's US website,

"Samsung has announced an expanded voluntary recall on all original and replacement

Galaxy Note7 devices sold or exchanged in the United States


in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and in partnership 
with carriers and retailers. Since the affected devices can overheat and pose a safety risk, 
we are asking consumers with a Galaxy Note7 to power it down and contact the carrier or 
retail outlet where they purchased their device. 

Consumers who have a Galaxy Note7 device can now exchange their phone for another 
Samsung smartphone, or receive a refund, 
under the terms of the expanded U.S. Note7 Refund and Exchange Program.

refund or exchange. If you have questions,

And some replies to some of the FAQs that caught my attention, 
**"As a sign of our appreciation for your patience and loyalty, we are offering up to a 
$100 bill credit from select carrier or retail outlets if you exchange your Galaxy Note7 
for another Samsung smartphone, less any incentive credits already received."

Samsung Expands Recall to All Galaxy Note7 Devices

 If the United States can be so mindful of their citizens with stringent penalties to be placed or enforced on any company or manufacturer that defaults or in one way or another endangers the life of her citizen due to factory error, what is Nigeria government doing to insure the lives of citizens?
Is it the same measure that will be used to recall phones from other countries of the world where the
devices have been shipped to or individuals will have to pay the shipping fee for returned gadget?
I know Nigerians will have this phone with them. Mind you, you cannot even take it on a plane 
if you are trying to return to US and tender it yourself. Go to the link here or call 1-844-365-6197 and find out what to do.

Sounds like it's time for a replacement battery. It is true that laptop batteries are  expensive but without a good backup your pc hard drive is at a risk and you could eventually lost your data in the occurrence of a possible crash.
