Topic: My TV just died.

Catherine !ttGirlsPl2 started this discussion 7 years ago #79,414

I turned it on, but the input wasn't set to anything so it went to sleep. Then when I went to turn it on it just died. Now there is this disgusting burnt plastic smell in the air and I think there was a spark. It was like when an electric device in The Sims breaks down. It was that quick too.

I hope you've unplugged it.

Unplug the TV and use a fork to pry the plug socket in the wall open a little more, it'll let more electricity through and the TV will go for a few weeks longer before before it burns out completely.

Suicidal appliances are a bigger problem than people realize.

Nice try, bud, but I wish I were that stupid to fall for it.
I am a shitty person who should exit this world a shitty way.

Is this a "legionnaires disease/tuberculosis" story or is it, in fact, a "not enough allowance/not getting an allowance" story instead?

It's an "explain what you mean" story since I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well he’s retarded because he could still take the HDD out and put it in an enclosure and all his files would still be there provided nothing happened to the harddrive.

Pro tip: nothing probably happened to the hard drive

When you replace it make sure the specifications guarantee, that failure will result in a pizza or chocolate pudding aroma.

Tomorrow Sears will declare itself Dead - Its death will bring huge deals at Kmart and Sears and stores will be empty by new years day.
Probably a good deal for a TV, that your allowance will cover.

If the hard drive is okay, it may not be a total loss. Going up in smoke, tho... IDK what would have caused that.

100's of items inside that device that will go up in smoke. Very few that will not create smoke.
