    I've heard quite alot on exploding laptops and i was wondering:
    1. if the laptop does explode and it's past the warranty period, whose fault is this?
    2. Will you get arrested for having a laptop explode soemwhere?
    3. If it explodes who will pay for everything?

    First off, your notebook is not going to explode. But if the battery does, your manufacturer will probably cover it without question if they think it will make you happy. The last thing they want is a lawsuit.

    Will you get arrested? Why would you get arrested?

    and after that I'll be arrested for having home grown bombs :confused:
