Can laptop overheating distroy hardware plugged into the ports?
In short I had a Samsung NP300E5A Laptop it became very slow and laggy, the fan was next the the charger socket and the USB sockets. Throughout the course of about 1year and 3 months use the fan would overheat so much it would burn my skin if it got too close. The charger socket has been destroyed from the heat, which I have attached a picture of below. All USB devices I frequently plugged into this laptop would develop connection issues, it would automatically connect and disconnect even if i plug it into another computer or USB port. It has happened to my 2 Logitech C920 webcams, my iPhone USB cable and HTC USB cable even my HDMI cable developed problems and I had to buy another one.
It seems like my laptops over heating is the problem. Is it the overheating which caused this? Is this common?
here's a picture of what the overheating has done to my charger
O.O wow that pc must be really hot, you devices should be ok but the USB end might get melted too but the metal and wires should be fine. I recommend you getting a laptop cooler or a new laptop, that is not safe to be honest if your using it on your bed it can potentially catch on fire
Anything that hot that could cause you skin to burn, can also cause damage to various parts of your computer. Why don't you take your laptop back to the place where it was bought and show the damage to the techs there.they'd be able to answer your question and help you i'm sure.
- Why won't my new iphone 5 download my music when plugged into my laptop? My old iphone 4 downloaded just fine. Normally I take the music I didn't buy from itunes and just "select all then drag and drop into my iphone folder thing on iTunes" and it would be added and it was easy for me to do this, is this now not working because I have IOS 7? Everytime I try to drag my music into the iphone place like I used to it just won't let me. What do I do?
- Why will my iPhone only charge when plugged into my laptop? I've swapped cords, outlets etc. It's just something with the darn phone. Help! To explain further I have swapped outlets, cord etc. This means that I have taken another iphone and a different charger and attempted to charge them. Other iphones work, just not mine, Mine will only charge at my laptop.
- My iphone8 won't turn on? I've tried holding & pressing all the buttons, & plugged it into 3 different charging ports It still won't work? How do I get it to turn on?! I've also tried using different charger cords. The phones been plugged in for like an hour and no luck
- My Iphone only charges when it's plugged into a Laptop? My IPhone 4S only charges when plugged into my laptop but not from the Adaptor, it was working perfectly fine last night but I went to plug it in and it didn't charge so I tried with my laptop and it worked any solutions? I've tried to restart & reset my phone but I got nothing out of it and it's only a month old.
