If yes then you need to check the battery of the phone as nokia has released the product advisory page stating that the Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006, in very rare cases could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge.

Check out the code stated at the back side of the battery as shown in the following image :

Note down the code and go tothis page of nokia advisory and enter the details as shown in the picture above and confirm whether you are one among the unlucky 46 million people.

Nokia reports that there have been approximately 100 incidents of over heating reported globally. No serious injuries or property damage have been reported. But how far is it safe?? Just check your nokia mobile phone battery as stated above and confirm yourself that you are on the safer side. I hope none of my blog readers are among the unlucky 46 million people !!! Are you ??
