Never, ever leave a laptop unattended with the mains power connected. There have been a whole spate of fires caused that way. Switch off, unplug, every time. Modern version of the old days when unattended powered-up TVs used to burst into flames, except the issue now is the quest for ever-better battery life means there's actually a scary amount of energy locked up in the batteries, and if the charging circuit goes even slightly wrong, incenarato!
Funny thing is that it wasn't connected to the mains.. It was closed and should have been in sleep mode. I tend to leave stuff plugged in and unattended quite a lot to charge but yeah, things like this make me worried to do that! :O now the house smells of burning laptop.
This was just so random and unexpected! I have no idea what went wrong, it wasnt showing any symptoms, then boooom.
