Yet Another "HP Spectre 13t-4000 x360 with burned motherboard" Post

[jminning]

Similar to the plethora of posts about the Spectre x360 (13t-4000), I too have now suffered the 'laptop won't charge/turn on,  smells smoky, opened it up to find the motherboard has a scorched spot' issue. It seems ridiculous that there hasn't been action taken on this issue/laptop. Are they waiting for the laptops to catch someone's house on fire first?  If you have a Spectre, you should be very concerned/careful as they (still) seem to have issues with overheating/smoking/scorching.

When I try to "contact support" it just tries to direct me back to the support forums. How do I contact the support engineers?

Probably don't need to spend too much effort diagnosing the issue. It seems to be a very common issue with the Spectre line:
