Windows Phone disasters – 'My Nokia Lumia 920 melted last night'

We have all been in that location. Through no fault of our own, our Windows Phones take been dropped, scratched up, sent sailing from a bicycle mount, or otherwise put in harm'south way at least one time (more for some).

The latest chapter in Windows Phone horror stories comes from Windows Phone Key fellow member abel920 who connected his loyal Nokia Lumia 920 to the micro USB charger before going to bed. He awoke to the smell of called-for wires and wrote it off to someone toasting staff of life downstairs in the kitchen. While toasting bread in the center of the night has happened, what generated the burnt wire smell was abel920's Lumia 920 and charger.

Based on the photos in abel920's forum discussion, it looks as though his Lumia 920 is indeed toast. Several have suggested contacting Nokia concerning the charger overheating and melting his phone. So far there have been no updates posted on whether or non Nokia was contacted and if so, their response.

Interestingly, we take never heard about problems with Qi wireless charging, which raises an interesting topic for discussion i.e. is Qi technically safer?

While this Lumia 920 has seen better days, information technology makes us wonder, what other Windows Telephone horror stories are out there. In add-on, if your Nokia Lumia has crashed and burned, how responsive has Nokia's Care Centers been? The few times we take used them, you couldn't ask for a better response.

Feel free to join in on this WPCentral forum discussion and share your thoughts on the melting Lumia 920.
