I bought my laptop back in October of 2019 and recently there has been a weird chemical smell coming from it from the vents underneath. It happens after about 1 hour of usage and the smell worsens as time passes. I would like to know of a fix.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Ak222 I understand your concern and I will bring your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
Although, I'll need some private information from you in order to create a case for you.
Please look for a private message requesting additional information.
Keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers, case details, etc...).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
