Dell's exploding laptop
Dell said it was investigating one of its laptop computer "seen bursting into flames in photographs on the Internet", Reuters reports.
"We have captured the notebook and have begun investigating the event," Dell spokeswoman Anne Camden said, confirming the computer was made by Dell but declining to specify the model. No one was hurt in the incident, she said.
The report of an exploding laptop at a conference in Osaka, Japan, accompanied by digital photos, was first published on technology industry news Web site The Inquirer last week.
The Dell spokeswoman said it was too early to draw any conclusions and added that it did not appear that the incident had anything to do with the battery issues related to a battery recall last year.
