Oh noes!

I came back from my shower to find my laptop as hot as a well, hot potato, and completely nonresponsive. Won't even turn on. This is me, reporting in from my ancient desktop, Lucy 4, who I haven't used since college.

I put it downstairs, where it is considerably cooler, and am hoping for the best. Alas, I have no idea what I'd have to do if this is something in need of replacing. It's past warranty. GRAH.

ETA: zenmaster to the rescue. Seems my battery is bad. Need to get a new one.
