(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok so i was using my laptop yesterday and it randomly started smoking. I was using it for a while and it was charging. The charger is not the original from the computer manufacturer but it was one that i got from the local pc store that they said would work for my computer. PLEASE HELP WITH SUGGESTIONS. (ps it has not done it since, it happened yesterday and i took the battery out and let it air out and didnt use it till a little bit ago.)

Power cord

Are you sure, the people from the computer store i bought the computer originally gave me the charger because they said it would work for my computer

Maybe the charger is too high of voltage for it, or maybe its not getting enough air in the vents. Or maybe a fan went out. open it and take a look, and if not take it to a shop.

I have both the original power cord and the new one and the voltages are the same it says 120-200 watts. But it could possibly be the air vent because they are on the bottom and i was using it on my couch so it wouldnt have the best ventilation

Thats most likely it, try buying a laptop holder to help with ventilation.
