I know this isn't right place to ask this but any...

Does somebody know where on the dell's site i can report issues with BIOS. I tried to find any form for reporting but no luck.

I have 9 cell 85whr battery in my dell 1525. When battery reaches 25% of capacity suddenly bios reports that the battery criticaly empty and then my system shuts down. This happens in ubuntu 8.04-9.10 and also Windows Vista and 7. Anyway, only when using bios newer than A08, if i use bios ver. A08 i have no problems, battery can go below 25%.

So my question is where can i report this BUG on dell's site i searched and searched and no luck.

you have to email them, call them, or chat with them online to get support. There is no "report a problem" section, you just have to contact their tech support. Bad news: if you have no warranty left, they can't help you, and they won't help you.

I have warranty, but im from Serbia, it is in Europe. Problem is when i select serbia on dell's site or when i put my service tag it says to contact my local distributer...
So i can't reach anyone from tech support...
And problem is not related only to mine laptop it is for all dell 1525 with 9 cell battery i think...
