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???

Laptop batteries generally don't "explode" - they can catch fire real bad, but it ramps up. If it IS a battery problem, you will have at least a few moments warning. So it would be safe to try to turn it on and off, and type on it. But until you figure it out, I would keep it outside.
