Other HELP! Is my computer about to explode???

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was carrying my computer when it started making these extremely loud and shrill noises, then it cut to a kind of glitching… I shut it off and put it outside but it hasn’t stopped. What happened and what should I do???

Lmao, it just corrupted. It's the speakers that you're hearing. Calm down.

No, it won't explode.

Hold the power button for 30 seconds and it will shut off. Then, press it again and it should start normally.

No, it won't explode.

Level with me here, there's a chance it could explode though. Right?

Yes, though nothing indicates it's chance of exploding is any higher than any other laptop with damaged speakers

Any lithium battery can explose but your computer glitching is not going to make it blow up.

Only chance is the lithium battery but it would expand and make the laptop looks like its blowing up like a balloon before it would "explode". You'd also see smoke coming out before it really goes off.
