Damn. And to think of how many times I've left my MT plugged in and charging when I wasn't home...

I'd contact an attorney ASAP. Might be good idea to get your hands checked out by your doctor as well. Estimate on damages to floors, CF replacement, pain suffering.. etc. can all add up to a lot - especially if it was no fault of your own - you could have a fairly strong case.

Is there any kind of warnings in the manual about possible battery explosions etc ? I can't recall seeing anything...

I've been waiting for the updates on the Microtrack, ..... waiting for it to be more reliable.  It looked like it was finally there with the latest update............., then, this happens.   :(    I won't be buying Microtrack.

+T spoogles for your troubles.  I hope M-Audio replaces everything.   :coolguy:

I would have to agree that you may want to contact an attorney and have him contact M-Audio.  You are wanting damages at teh minimum and this is not something you want to get into with them without legal advice.  I guarantee their lawyers will be on this immediatly to make sure their ass is covered or to discredit what you did in someway.  Also keep in mind that some companies record calls to customer service, so you dont want to inadvertantly say something which could damage your case.  I would definitely contact a lawyer BEFORE contacting M-Audio. +T for your troubles.

Please take all this advice into account before you contact them. You could ruin your chances of getting a settlement if you say/do the wrong thing early on. Good luck and please do let us know what happens. +T for your troubles...

Spoogles.. Man, I'm going to have to sue you.

You see, by your careless charging of the microtrack and by posting the photos here, you have irrepairably damaged the resale value of my microcrapper.  Hell, I probably won't even be able to take the thing on a plane now :P

Anyone know where I can buy a flame-proof protective cup?  My groin fears the microcrapper.

Maybe I'll have to try the flame-resistant nomex underwear road racers wear..

Call a lawyer... a good lawyer will eat this up.  This could have been ugly, and I bet you walk a way with a fat wad in your pocket.  Lawyer first for sure.

If it could have been ugly, but wasnt...and he is ok, isn't suing a little ..unethical/greedy/wrong?? The fact that someone said to "erase the part about your hand being fine" is a little telling, in my opinion. Id have a hard time taking money in a situation like that.


edit..spoogles..good thinking man. Glad you are ok.

+T Spoogles.

I'm just glad that you, your wife, your kittes, and your lovely home are ok.

I'll not be buying or touching one of those things ever.

What he said.  Glad to see Spoogles isn't trying to milk this inappropriately:

I just got back to town, and the thread was wild.


I still think it will work fine with a hard boot...

This just proves the MT is one hot deck!

I'd say it sounds like a user misunderstanding about how to burn the music.

 ;D

On a personal note, I am really sorry for the loss, and like all MT owners, hope this works out in the end.
