MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Whilst watching the F1 last Sunday my TV made a loud bang and a small plume of smoke came out from the bottom next to a speaker, great TV is goosed I thought. But TV carried on working fine and speakers worked fine. Now every so often the TV will make a bang like a balloon bursting but TV works fine. Anyone heard of this before?
Strange thing is the TV makes the bang/pop even when not in use and not plugged into the wall, in the middle of the night!?!
Is this repairable or should I call Ghost Busters? TV was second hand and is easy 5+ old (LG 32” LCD)
Turn on the subtitles.
If they're all in Danish , your TV might be a Bang & Olufsen.
Are you watching Fringe?
Power spike. Call Mercedes F1 urgently; they lost a whole load of power from Hamilton's car and were looking for it on Sunday.

Colour me paranoid but theres no way I'd be leaving that plugged in in my house overnight.
Screw that. Get a new one.
You're not watching babestation are you?
It will be fine OP,what could possibly go wrong ?

Blown capacitor probably. Pretty easy and cheap to replace if you have a soldering iron.
Does sound like a capacitor issue, would be the only way to explain why it can happen when it's not plugged in (short of the paranormal). I would have thought it would be turning itself off on it's own as well though if it's the typical blown capacitor issue
They're here...
