My friend has recently had a strange problem with his HP Elitebook.
Basically, it boots up fine, but there is a strange burning plastic smell coming from the keyboard.
He says it's most apparent from the Shift key.
What's happening to his laptop?
Here's a little bit of background (not too much, this is my friend and I don't wanna invade his privacy)
His fan stopped working about 6 months ago but he got it replaced. Sometimes on bootup it complains about the battery capacity "being critically low". It stays on for around 15 minutes on a full charge.
