Hello all, I have a 17 inch LCD that when plugged has a smell like something is burning internally. Is the monitor done? It works but I don't want to cause a fire!

Burning smell coming from electrical equipment is never good, usually means there's something wrong, I would call in an expert.

How old is the monitor? In some instances new electrical components may have an odor, however any odor doesn't last for too long. Check and make sure the cooling openings are free from dust build-up and air can flow around and behind the monitor.
