Possibility of smoking due to extra screws. NEC voluntarily inspects 1.24 million units such as "Chromebook Y2" and "LAVIE N11"
NEC and NEC Personal Computers, Ltd. (NEC PC) announced that they will carry out self-inspection of terminals for GIGA schools "" and mobile notebooks for individuals "LAVIE N11".
In some of the products sold by NEC to local governments and educational institutions, it was found that extra screws were mixed under the battery due to a defect in the manufacturing process. One case was confirmed in which the screw damaged the battery and caused smoke / heat loss due to the strong impact caused by dropping the terminal due to this problem.
In addition, it was confirmed that there were 6 cases in which the cable was damaged by rubbing against peripheral parts due to improper assembly of the cable, resulting in smoke / heat loss due to a short circuit.
NEC has added "Chromebook Y3", "VersaPro E type VR VR-8", "VersaPro E type VR VR-9", and "VersaPro E type VR VR-A" so that users can use it with peace of mind in the future. We have decided to voluntarily inspect a total of about 1.24 million PCs. The inspection time will be decided in coordination with each local government and educational institution.
VersaPro E type VRIn addition, NEC PCs will also inspect the N11 series manufactured on the same line at the same time. No incidents have occurred in the N11 series. The target number is 4,285.
LAVIE N11According to NEC and NEC PC, even if the terminal in use has screws, there is no problem in using it because it will not damage the battery or cause smoke / heat loss unless it is subjected to a strong impact such as dropping. We want you to comply with safe usage until the inspection.
In addition, the terminal is made of highly flame-retardant material, and even if smoke or heat loss occurs inside the terminal, consideration is given to prevent damage to the outside, but it will fall. If smoke or abnormal heat generation is confirmed when a strong impact is applied, the product is immediately discontinued and a request for inspection / repair is requested.
Use it on a flat surface and strong enough to prevent it from being dropped or hit. Do not use it on your lap for a long time.
When transporting or storing the unit, be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord and AC adapter from the outlet. Also, do not rotate the LCD display to the outside, but keep the screen closed.
