Scary video of a laptop battery exploding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeWq6rWzChw&eurl=)

I know my Macbook Pro gets hot and I'm rather worried about placing it on my nether regions.

I saw this the other day and was rather scared by it!

I don't think I'll be leaving my laptops Folding unattended any more. I know it's highly unlikely the same would happen but I'm not prepared to take the risk - especially after seeing what can happen with those dodgy Sony batteries.

Quite scary :shocked:

Crikey!! My laptop doesn't get too hot which is a relief... but that's frightening nonetheless! That smoke is probably somewhat toxic too.

Imagine if that happened on a plane!

Stan, run it with the battery removed.

My batteries are old and predate all this Sony mess by at least a year. They don't even get warm, never mind hot.

Should still remove them probably for protection, but meh, they're old already.

Stan, run it with the battery removed.



Why didn't I think of that :embarassed:
