How would you burn up a laptop with no evidence of sabotage

Im not saying it is right, but lets say you had bought one of those
expensive warranties from a retailer.  Now two years later you wanted
to cook you machine and get a new one.   Is it possible, and how would
you do it?  Just hypothetical, not going to do it.

Two words - spontaneous combustion.  Just like the people who burn to
crisp except for their legs and hands or completely turn to ashes
sitting watching TV.  Just read the papers for the next case of SC and
leave your laptop in the same spot.

Load linux. That'll turn it into a useless doorstop.

Make a 1/8 scale model of the laptop, then stick a pin in it, followed by
holding a match underneath it.

when you hear the bang, return pick up peices, then send via UPS to factory
