[SOLVED] Smoking laptop?

Oops I used the wrong email address, I added my Framework account’s email address to the support thread in a reply. I couldn’t figure out how to DM people on this forum, but I replied to the original email thread which is titled “Smoke from battery area”

that actually helped, thank you!

This has nothing to do with your specific issue, but if you ever find yourself with a dangerous li-ion battery that you have nowhere to put, I’ve had luck in the past putting it in a plastic bag, and putting that in a cooking pot (and occasionally filling that pot with sand if the cushion is spicy enough). Then if you can get it to like a Batteries Plus store or an electronics store they can dispose of it safely.

That’s a great idea, I’ll have to keep that in mind for next time.

I heard back from support today and they said the battery needs to be replaced and are sending a new one.

Thanks again to everyone for sharing their knowledge and support!
