Toshiba yesterday announced a voluntary product recall affecting just over 40,000 of its T-Series of Satellite laptops. The company says potentially faulty DC-In harnesses were used in the manufacture of certain Satellite T135, T135D and Satellite Pro T130 laptops. In some cases, the defective harness may overheat to the point of melting the computers base, near where the AC adapter plugs into the unit. Toshiba says there have been no reports of serious injury because of the defect but warns that the temperature is sufficient to pose a burn hazard to the user.
