Arpy Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) It could just be CRTs, but don't quote me on that. I might be thinking of the vacuum tubes. Edit: Google tells me that it's actually LCDs you need to dispose of pro[i]purr[/i]ly. Edited June 11, 2009 by Arpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotusTuusMaria Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 My hp laptop that overheated and died on me many moons ago said on the back that mercury was contained in it and that I should dispose properly. I was just wondering... I was searching this airline and they said not to bring things on the plane that contain mercury, and I was going to bring my new laptop... when I get it... which btw, any ideas on what kind of laptop I should get?

The battery contains Mercury. Pretty sure all laptop batteries have Mercury in them. And a Macbook of course.
