This morning, while not printing, my Sprocket started smoking and when I went to unplug it, it burned my hand.  I am just lucky I was in the room when it happened or I am sure I would have had a fire.  The plug completely melted through.  Is this a common problem?   I have loved this little printer -- but am shocked by this.sprocket photos.jpg

These are cute little printers - like the instant Polaroid prints.

 

I would think the issue you describe is uncommon.

 

That said, our Community is not really a gathering place for "did this happen to you?" reports. 

We get the occasional "piling on" threads but this type of "did you see this?" posting is not our Community mission.

 

I do believe that if something happened to your device then it is likely that the same "something" happened to someone else.  Truly "Unique" issues are extremely rare.

 

What to do?

Contact Sprocket Support and submit your request for help.
