LAPTOP CAUGHT ON FIRE!!

‎12-17-2010 09:32 AM

I was using my laptop and smoke started coming out, there was a flame. Thankfully I was home. I always have it ventilated, so the fan can work properly. I contacted HP and they told me it was because I didnt clean, still this shouldn't be happening. Still I have two laptops and my other is a Sony, it doesn't get as hot, and the battery life is still good. Just a caution to hp owners dont leave your laptop running while you go out.

This can happen with any laptop, any brand.
