The iBook was a defective battery. Wonder if that was what burst into flames on that Dell?

Dell laptops exploding?

Apparently so. I came across THIS article. It even has a pic of it exploding. Supposedly the battery was defective. Good thing it wasn't on the guys lap or in an airplane.

DOH! I tried everything from Dell laptops, dell explosion, laptop exploded, etc. what search criteria did you use?

I must have spent 15 minutes trying different words (without being to specific) and couldn't come up with anything. Obviously i didn't try hard enough. Sorry about that.

Mods,
You can close this if you want.

<Mods combined the threads> Thanks :)
