Re: motherboard caught fire after system battery replaced

It's also an old system with an old board. Every hear of tin fingers? They are tiny, microscopic (sometimes) solder fingers that shot things out, they grow like stalactites.

Tin fingers will simply act as a low amperage fuse and blow harmlessly when there's any significant current. To cause a fire, there had to be a major short.
