Well, my first guess would be a blow fuse, did you check for that? But if you smelled something burning, then even if the fuse did blow, it failed to protect something; probably the main power transformer. That's a coil of wire in a sort of square shape that should be near the fuse. Its hard to tell if they're burnt sometimes, but it may need replacement. Please upload a few pictures so we can have a look too.
On some of the RCA televisions, the Hi Volt transformer will go bad and make a sizzling or popping sound. Most often, it will smell burnt when this happens.
You are in need of electrical service. Hopefully it has a warrenty. To many possible causes to guess, but the burnt smell, suggests a qualified technician should repair this for you. Good luck.
You would be better off to replace the filter. Purchase two and use the first one to capture the remaining smoke residue. Then install the other clean one to keep microwave free of smell. Check the web site www.partselect.com for the replacement filter. If you found any of these suggestions helpful, please rate my solution. D. Lange
make sure you do not have the automatic screen mode set to wide screen on tv menu .Also if you have cable box set to wide mode only then the tv will only display wide mode.
its gone. electrical smell, like burnt? thats how we electricitions check for problems in the field. :) means something overheated or shorted. Easy way of telling, no tools required.
This would have damaged the power supply, most likely not harming any other parts. Fuses do not smell when they blow so something else was damaged. I would suggest looking for a similar revision that has a blown laser or other trouble and use the power supply from that.
