overherebc Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Worked in an office in BKK once, one of the offices where everybody had their own cubicle type thing. One afternoon there was, as Ronnie Barker would say ' a buckin fang' One of the local guys had made his own charger from bits and pieces and lucky for him he had gone for a P when his phone shattered. The dividing panels had bits of phone stuck into them and they would probably have been stuck in him if nature hadn't called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts also, having seen items melt whilst plugged in... lol... circuit breakers my butt.... and .... I’ve also seen wires stripped back and stuffed straight into sockets, on numerous occasions for various electrical devices (in the case of a phone, I would image that not using an adaptor would super heat the phone..... bang). that said, if the phone manufacturer were allowed to investigate, I would be interested to know their findings.

Kieran00001 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The problem could be an aftermarket charger, there are some in the markets here that don't know when the battery is full, they just keep charging, and if left the battery will eventually explode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just search on Google for "iphone battery explode -bites" or "samsung battery explode" and you will find out that a lot of expensive big name branded mobile phones explode too. So it is in real a stupid comment!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
