I wonder if it might be possible for a person to intentionally get hold of one, in order to use it toward nefarious ends. Conversely, perhaps the exploding battery might point to a ring of criminals selling old laptop/phone batteries, which were reported as “destroyed due to defect,” as if they were new? Sounds like a plot to me, buddy!<br /><br />As for the ToI story, I thought it useful, because I was considering coming up with a way to rig the battery for short circuit when receiving calls. You may know if that's possible, or how to do it, but I'm afraid I'm in the dark here.<br /><br /><b>Fran</b>, I’m glad you found this interesting. It was actually your comment, on Melodie’s post, that awakened me to such thoughts. I had seen and read news reports, but had not considered figuring them into mystery plots until then. <br /> <br /><b>Eve</b>, I think your hearing aid battery idea is brilliant. And your attitude of “Unlikely, but we're writing fiction, right?” is probably just what’s needed to carry off such a plot line imho.<br /><br /><b>Melodie</b>, thanks for being the scape goat, as we all know that Canadians are notoriously blood-thirsty, of course. LOL And thanks for being such a good sport.<br /> <br />Also: be glad you’ve got a big black rotary phone; I’ve only been able to go online intermittently for the past week or so, and my cable phone (provided by COX Cable) has been out, due to a general cable interruption, for over 24 hours now. <br /><br />This interruption evidently knocked my home equipment off-line, so that it still won’t work, though the problem has supposedly been fixed. Unfortunately, they won’t have a repair person out to fix my home units until Saturday afternoon. So, we’ve got no internet, land-line phone or T.V. at the moment. <br /><br />In fact, I’m writing this on my laptop, which is piggy-backing (with permission) on the wi-fi used by my apartment office’s staff. Unfortunately, the connection I managed to make there was too weak to permit me to post on my blogging day. I had to wait for the repair guy to come out and “fix” our problem (Which meant, actually, just flipping a switch, because COX had accidentally turned off OUR cable, when trying to turn off the cable for the folks who moved out of the apartment downstairs last week!) to post this comment. <br /><br />So, now, after three days, cable is finally back on, and it’s working well enough that my online connection is no longer (apparently, and so-far) intermittent, as it has been for about a week or so. Hopefully, none of my other neighbors will move out any time soon!Dixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220791609338404147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-692978078543298412014-12-19T20:43:27.181-05:002014-12-19T20:43:27.181-05:00Oh, great.

Some years back, two different generations of Sony laptop batteries (Sony also supplied Apple) were notorious for bursting into flames.<br /><br />I’m dubious about the ‘call-bombing’ as described in the ToI. International calls shouldn’t make any difference at all nor should any such self-destruct be built into phones.<br /><br />That said, I imagine there are ways to exacerbate exploding phones and tablets. For example, I notice the Waze GPS application dramatically heats up my Android and likewise heats the phone of my friend Thrush. It sucks so much power that more often than not I leave it plugged into the cigarette lighter charger, which introduces additional heat. Turn on wifi and bluetooth and all of the possible sensors, load up computational intensive apps like games, and you’ll have an overheated phone, especially in locations like FL, TX, AZ, NM, and Mexico.<br /><br />Overheating might reach temperatures sufficient to melt the solder, which is less than you might think. Hypothetically, a couple of things might happen such as weakening solder joints, which might cause additional overheating, or, sufficiently melting solder that might reflow and short-circuit the mechanism, possibly sending temperatures soaring.<br /><br />These are somewhat iffy and let’s say you wanted a more surefire method without tampering with battery or board internals. It occurs to me that an unpleasant person might paint the battery and battery cavity with certain chemicals found in xxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx. Then, as the machine starts to heat, the chemicals react and ignite, then poof!Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
