Television giving off toxic odour

TEN BEARS · 2010-11-28 20:31:30

We have a Hannspree 19 inch tv which is is giving off a toxic gasy smell. This all happened over the past week. The tv is 2 years old. Unfortunatley the shop where we purchased is out of business. I will try to contact company. If anybody has any thoughts I would appreciate it.

Probably best to unplug it and bring it to a repair shop.

A circuit board burning out gives a particularly nasty smell, that could be what's happening.

If you spilled something on it then *cough* it might be covered on your house insurance.
