Samsung says that its Galaxy S3 has been exonerated following an earlier report of it burning up.
According to the company, it hired a third-party organization, Fire Investigations U.K., to inspect the damaged device. That investigation found that the trouble occurred after an "energy source" was used to heat the device and cause the damage.
"The only way it was possible to produce damage similar to the damage recorded within the owner's damaged device was to place the devices or component parts within a domestic microwave," the investigation found, according to Samsung.
Last month, an Ireland-based forum poster published images on Boards.IE showing what appeared to be a Galaxy S3 with burns along the bottom. According to the poster, "dillo2k10," the device was sitting in a "car mount when suddenly a white flame sparks and a bang came out of the phone." The device, the forum poster said, "burned from the inside out" and melted its case. The phone kept working, but had lost its signal.
