The artist says that in addition to fear, he is traumatized by this situation and will avoid even contact with electronic devices. “It was a swing, thank God, it didn’t hit my eyes or hands. “I have never seen anything like this in my life,” said the singer.

How did the laptop explode?

It is difficult to pinpoint the exact reasons why the device exploded due to the poor quality of the images and the distance of the laptop from the camera. The laptop is likely to be plugged in to charge the battery, as the presentation is expected to last at least three hours.

The battery is often one of the main culprits of such accidents. Most laptops and smartphones today use lithium-ion batteries, which are more reliable, better energy efficient, and less dangerous.

However, these batteries can explode in certain scenarios. Since batteries are electrical components, the device must receive energy directly from the outlet in order to operate. This can happen by a continuous transmission while the laptop is connected, or by storing energy so the user can use it away from outlets.

You may have already noticed that with your mobile phone or laptop, battery powered devices get hot. The reason for this is that the transferred energy turns into heat and this heating affects the processor, motherboard, memories, etc. It is combined with the heat of other internal components such as

Excessive heat that is not dissipated by the machine can cause defects in the product, which in some cases can lead to the laptop exploding. It is important to remember that batteries are flammable components, so although burning is rare, it is not abnormal.

How to prevent explosions on your laptop?

If you are afraid of your laptop exploding, it is possible to prevent such situations. The best advice is to always leave the device in ventilated areas, paying attention to whether the device can expel hot air through the ventilation ducts.

If you notice that the laptop is getting too hot, it’s a good idea to open the device or take it to a trusted technician. One of the most common causes of overheating is dust accumulation inside the device or drying of thermal paste on the processor.

If the battery is at the end of its life, pay attention to the following symptoms and take the product to a technician for analysis.

• The ledger begins to swell;
• The smell of chemical components coming from the device;
