Melted Dell

As a sit here with my laptop nearly burning my leg, it’s stories like this that scare me. A one year old Dell Mini proceeded to growl like an angry chihuahua as its owner unplugged it and placed in on the wooden floor. For only a few minutes the Mini would hiss, sizzle, and smoke leaving a hole in the casing and a scorch mark on the wooden floor. Its owner, a lady name Hannah, describes the event:

[QUOTE]I heard a loud popping sound and the room immediately filled with smoke while the laptop hissed and sizzled. It died down, I pushed it with my foot, and it started hissing again. There is a large scorch mark on my floor. It goes without saying, I am glad the laptop was not on my couch …or in an airplane.[/QUOTE]

Melted Dell

Lucky for Hannah, Dell paid for her to send her newly melted laptop back for inspection. They also sent her a brand new laptop with better specs. No cause of the battery malfunction has been determined.
