Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120611-C002B-2147466721. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Matched catalog product: Sony Vaio VPCF115FM. Source model text: Sony Vaio VPCF115FM/B. Incident: Laptop runs so hot it leaves heat impressions on things around it (even with a cooling pad). The device gets so hot even after only a couple minutes that it burns the skin on my writs from typing. The computer screen turned blue and now has a black screen. I am concerned this thing will cause a fire and/or cause injuries.
