Dell Laptop Became a Flamethrower
Everyone knows about the flaming Dell laptop that was captured on film in the act of exploding during a conference in Osaka in Japan last month and another Dell that reportedly burst into flames at an office in the US state of Illinois just last week. Both of this news had hit hard enough on Dell. But Today, a guy from Singapore said that his Dell laptop supplied to him by his company had been involved in a similar act of self-immolation. The incident took place one evening in early November. The man was working from home when the computer suddenly began to make "popping noises". "It wasn't quite an explosion, but white smoke began to pour out of the machine, completely filling up the room, and there were flames coming up the sides of the laptop," he said. Dell had replaced their machine but he was never told by the company what had caused the fault. I owned one Dell Latitude D600 and i'm pretty much worried as other Dell's owners do.
