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
