    No I would not consider it a fire hazard, if there is a fault it should blow the fuse. You can see by the discolored circuit board, its been running hot for a while. What I ment about it effecting the picture was shrinking top to bottom or squezing in from the sides etc. that could indicate a problem, minor adjustments that you did will have no real effect on its operating temperature

        It was shrinking in from the top a little bit.

            IDK, at this point I feel like scrapping it, it's cute and all but that smell is really really bad

                LG 65UQ8000AUB no backlight burning smell
                by howardc64
                Only 3 years old. Owner said backlight went out and burning smell. Didn't bother plugging in to check if had power LED. Just opened the TV rear and found shorted bridge rectifier diode on the backlight circuit on the PSU. SF26G (400V 2A super fast recovery rectifier link ) diode replace with SF26 (what I had on hand) Google AI said G = Green Components.

                Burn looked pretty bad on the board but just was blackened carbon coating material. Scraped and cleaned off quite well and clean solder pad for the new diode.

                IBM LTO 7 Tape Drive - Dust Sensors??
                by RetroComputingGrotto
                I have a Quantum SuperLoader robotic tape library that uses an IBM LTO 7 tape drive which is constantly complaining that it needs cleaning. If you insert a cleaning tape, it performs the clean and resets the cleaning counter to 0 hours. It should only require cleaning every 50 or so working hours but after as little as just 1 hours use it requests cleaning. We've purchased a new cleaning tape along with new LTO backup tapes but that has not resolved the problem.

                I have taken the library apart and can see no noticeable signs of dust inside. I have removed the tape drive from the...

                Carver CM-1090 - Power relay clicking on & off, then fuse blown after 20-30 seconds of power cycling.
                by beetle1303
                I gotten a Carver CM-1090 amplifier from a friend who has kept it in storage for decades. Opened it up, thick layer of dust cumulated everywhere. Vacuumed it semi-cleaned, and blown off as much as possible the remaining dust. This is a 220V version.

                On initial powered up with nothing connected - it works with all the lights and button indicator lit up as pressed, etc. I then powered off, connected a CD player into the CD RCA input and powered it on. It seemed to work for a short while and when I turned the volume up and down to see the the VUs works, the power started to clicked off...

                Hey....

                Board as written in description was stuck at VGA LED. common Problem wit these type of bords.... tried all the "standard stuff" like resettin... reseatin.... found out the LED Controller MCU1 = IT8295FN-56A geting burning hot under the last PCI Slot.. now i desoldered it cause there were only 18 ohms at the caps arround.... another aorus x470 in working condition with similar part and nearly same layout had arround 280 ohms...

                my question is: why doesnt the board start know without this chip.... worked myself through the boardview but i can´t understand...

                Macbook Dust-Gate Preventive Cleaning
                by howardc64
                Just did this on my 2021 13" MBP M1. Dust-Gate design flaw still present. Depending on cleanliness of the operation environment (often eating while using MB is probably the worst). Periodic cleaning is probably warranted.

                Note this is quite challenging effort. One misstep will damage the LCD flex and render it useless. So take it to someone more experienced if uncertain.
