Fire Hazard / Health & Safety Issue

[IowaHawk84]

When using my laptop I noticed an electrical burning smell right before the screen turned black and shut off.  The laptop was resting on my legs and the back portion got extremely hot to the point my skin turned pink.  After removing the cover I found a noticeable burned and charred area on the motherboard.  In researching this issue, it appears this is a documented and known issue with this particular model and year (2015).  I am very upset HP never informed me of this issue that could have caused serious damage and is a fire risk.  I would appreciate a HP representative to contact me immediately.

Welcome to the HP Community.

Request for Review

• I have submitted a request that our Community moderators review your question / concern.

Worth Noting

• Our Community is not an HP business group.
• We are not HP Technical Support, nor are we HP Sales, Service, or Warranty.
• Our request for assistance on your behalf does not influence the outcome:  Our request is not a magic back door into HP Support.
• The time frame (how long it takes) for a response is not controlled by the Community.
• If / When there is a response, a Community moderator / agent will (should) post back on this thread before using other methods to contact you. 

Important

• Do not contact random numbers posted in a public or private message by “new members”.  Vermin are looking for victims – don’t be next.

• Please do not post any personal or case information here - we cannot make use of the data. 
• Posting personal information at a public site increases your risk from rats and scammers.
