Hi everyone I need help,
My laptop computer is only 1 yr old, it started making a weird noise on the fan about 3 months after I bought it but I didn’t think nothing of it.

But now the laptop is completely dead, first I plugged it up and the plug in area where the adapter goes started smoking, I thought maybe it was the battery, so I bought a new battery, and now the laptop worked for 5 min and it died again and the plug in area started smoking up again, and the laptop started smoking, the adapter plug light starts blinking as soon as I plug it into the laptop, and when I smell the plug after removing it from the laptop it smells like burnt rubber

Anyway what can be wrong with it?

Don't plug it in again!!! You could do more damage.
You have a short circuit by the sound of things and you need to take it to a service center for repair.
