WTF! My monitor just started smoking whilst still working...

[Shayper]

As per title. Could just smell burning, saw smoke, and quickly Turned it off. Is this a known fault with the Iiyama Prolite?

Going to have to return it now

 

[Shayper]

Buy some nicorette patches for it. Filthy habit for a monitor.

How old is it?

Just over a year

I wasn't sure if it was from my cig at first until I smelled fusing

I've tried turning it on again, works fine, just a little hot. Will probably get it repaired anyway.

Will probably get it repaired anyway.

That would seem like a very sensible thing to do.

I'm not sure continuing to use it is though.

You're sure it's not a feature?

 

[C.K]

It's overheating. Water cool it.
