[QUOTE="AllisonVSC, post: 1388327, member: 245395"] Yesterday I took my Mac to a friend's house because he was interested in trying one. I plugged it in, turned it on, and logged in. Then I left it for him to try out. Two hours later he called to say it had caught fire. He burned his hands and suffered smoke inhalation trying to put it out and had to go to the emergency room. Fortunately, the damage to his home and his injuries were not more extensive. I shudder to think what would have happened if circumstances were different. Camera phone pics are attached. I will look carefully today at the magnetic plug but it appears from what I saw last night that it was the battery. Any known battery issues with this product, particularly the battery? Also, can you help me locate a serial number. What was on the bottom of the case has burned off. Tx. Allison [ATTACH=full]17142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17143[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
