Dell has been conspiring and plotting, trying to figure out how to control population growth, and the've recently displayed their brilliant scheme.

WOW~ Pretty good sized flame, too. Probably 2000+ degrees. Not bad.

In light of the evidence, however, we'd suggest you avoid actually using a laptop on your lap. Ouch.

My guess is it was a defective replacement battery or something of that nature, but I could be wrong.

I don't know.  They'd have to provide more details.

There are a few possible causes of this that isn't really Dell's fault, though.
  1) Someone bought a generic battery that wasn't intended to work with that specific laptop
  2) Someone plugged the wrong power adaptor into their laptop.  It looks like there were a lot of laptops to become confused with.

No there is a problem with one of the Dell's.  A UPS 747 burned down on the tarmac at an airport the other day because a laptop exploded in the hold.

If it wasn't Dell's fault, why are they researching it?

Because Dell is a company which would like to know what caused it in order for it to be fixed if it's their fault? Or possibly issue some sort of warning in the documentation to prevent future instances from happening?

Liability reasons.

I did not, however, expressly state that it wasn't Dell's fault.  I simply listed a few causes for the mishap that would not fall into Dell's lap.
