Burning iBook Warns of Laptop Fire Hazards
by Jeff Gamet, 7:30 AM EDT, May 30th, 2006
A Minneapolis TV station is warning laptop owners to be cautious with their portable computers or risk a fire. The report drives its point home with photos of a burning iBook. WCCO's footage of a burning iBook is dramatic, and acts as a reminder that you may get burned if you don't pay attention to basic safety precautions, like don't place your laptop on flammable materials.
In the case of the burning iBook, an 11 year old boy was using his laptop while it was sitting on a carpeted floor. Later, he left the the iBook unattended on the floor while he left the room. His parents heard a popping noise, and came into the room to find that the iBook was melting the carpet. They moved the laptop outside, with the power supply still attached, and photographed the computer catching on fire.
