There haven’t been any fires yet, but Lenovo warns the laptops literally have a screw loose. A screw left unfastened during their manufacture can damage the lithium battery and cause the cells to short out and potentially start a fire.
The fix is simple: No screw, no problem. Lenovo’s fix is to remove the unfastened screw.
