I use it almost daily (and hour or so), turned it on today and it just didn’t run (never dropped etc). Put it on charge and the led didn’t light up. Did some research and one person said to basically re-do the SSD swap (I did this pretty much the second I got it 64gb to 512). This actually worked and I played for about 10mins. The battery however wasn’t accurate saying it was 75% constant. Then I powered off the screen and the led blinked and I noticed a tiny amount of smoke coming out of the vent. Now it won’t start or charge.

Any thoughts? I’m thinking to replace the battery. And failing that potentially upgrading to the oled!
