17 months old little use chrome book melting at the charging part

[Amy2408]

Hello

    Can any one please advise 

Purchased a chrome book in  February 2019. Didn’t take out the extra warranty as with all the hype and good advertisement says a minimum of 4-5 years use

this chrome book has had very little use as it is used by my nine-year-old grandson On contacting HP support staff they just do not do anything and now want to charge me £196.44 but my point is regardless if it’s out of the warranty or not it is still a dangerous manufacturers fault this could’ve caught fire even worse could’ve killed somebody

I have been asking HP for a week now to call me to discuss this and I have been totally ignored disgusting service I am not a happy chrome book user and neither is my nine-year-old grandson

Has anyone else experience this problem with a 19 months old chromebook 

HP have been very unprofessional in dealing with this fully understand out of warranty by 7 month but this is a dangerous  manufacturer fault melting & smoking not a misused 

CAN ANY ONE PLEASE HELP OR  ADVISE
