At about 5:40 P.M. today, a user noticed that the display on the
W20-575-104 monitor became unstable, and a burning smell was coming
from the monitor. It looked to me as if some component on the left
side of the monitor had become fried; there was a small amount of
white smoke emitted from the top left. The system was powered down by
the user; I left a sign on the machine requesting that it be not be
used until you could investigate.
