PC power issues

Question:
	My daughters laptop gets so hot you can't set it in your lap to work because it will burn your legs, then it's shuts off. It even melted the plug that you use to get wall power. Is this something that I can get fixed, or just trash it and get a new one? By buddygus Asked May 14 2007 8:07PM	24 Pts Rate Question

You need to take it back to the store you bought it from. They just had a huge recall on laptops that caught fire while people were using them because the battery packs were bad. This sounds like what they were doing. Whatever you do don't use it till it's fixed.
