Bought the laptop Feb 1 2021. The laptop has always ran warm to hot but i expect gaming laptops always do.  Few months, after getting it the touch mousepad expanded and cracked due to heat i assume.  i didnt didnt with since i use the mouse.  Today, i was using it and it shutdown/flash of sparks.  After the flash, smoke started coming out of it.  I tried to blow the dust out of the unit often.

 

the unit still smells and is making a clicking noise.  Im not sure where to go from here to get my laptop running again.
