Has your laptop ever burned your legs? (1 Viewer)

Drama in Ellesmere Port today, when this Audi burst into flames. Cheshire Fire Brigade responded quickly (the Fire Station being less than 1/2 mile away) and extinguished the flames. The cause? A laptop battery in the boot overheating! (see Cheshire Fire website)

Now I know they can get warm but this?

If I recall correctly, Dell laptops had a serious similar problem a few years ago.

Yes, along with most of the big PC builders since they all used the same source. I think it was something to do with metal fragments causing shorts. Maybe this was a battery that missed one of the many recalls?
