I was using my Spectre X360 the other day when I smelled what seemed to be electronics burning. I realized the smell was coming out of the vent on the side of the laptop. I was using it without power plugged in. I shut down the laptop and then tried to restart it to no avail. I also tried plugging it in to see if it would charge also to no avail. No little red or white light by the charging port. I decided to open the back of the laptop up and there was a burnt section on the motherboard right near the m.2 ssd drive. Unfortunately for me this $1,000 laptop is out of warranty by 5 months. Something like this should be a recall in my opinion as I've seen many other posts about these things no longer charging and requiring a motherboard replacement. Rest assured if my house went up in smoke because of this thing I would have gotten more than a replacement laptop! This is either an engineering flaw or some sort of chronic component failure. I scoped the power supply with a meter and it's fine.
