I have a Micron Transport GX+ that suffered a major meltdown on one half of the machine. It was plugged in through an in-line APC surge protector (which was not tripped) and it's AC Adapter (which was not hot). The left side of the laptop was SO hot (thank GOD it didn't start a fire) it melted the keys, the right side remained in tacked. The machine was still able to boot (although the last time I tried it could not find the operating system).
Still under a year old, Micron is saying that their warranties do not cover such damage (as they are claiming it was caused by a power surge. It's my feeling that a power surge of that magnitude would have blown either the APC or the AC Adapter (not to mention the circuit) before reaching the system, and/or would effect the entire machine, not just the left side. Are my feelings correct? I said I thought it was maybe the fan or something. They claimed that the machine would have shut down as an effect thus damage of such would be impossible.
Any thoughts???
Thanks
