My monitor made a wierd sound about five minutes ago and now I can smell a slight burning. Is it possible that dirt and lint got in there burnt up and made that scent or is my computer starting to burst into flames? I need any help you can give RIGHT NOW!!!

Turn the monitor off an turn the back of the monitor into the room so it will vent well. Had a prob like this once, was due to a damp atmosphere, if you in one crak open a window. (unless of course the reason it's damp is 'cos it's raining :o) )

If I was you, I would IMMEDIATELY turn off the thing and then phone to the monitor help support.

I was off work yesterday and teachers are on strike so I slept all day and that has enabled me to stay up 17 hours and counting. I will let you know how long I lasted before I go off to sleep.

My cd-rom made the same sound right after I posted the topic but it didnt start the burning smell. It has been screwy since I brought it over from Hawaii. It probably got banged up good.

Off topic: Ah, Caleb, nice to see another friendly face from Tacoma, WA. *waves*

Better your monitor then your computer. Monitors are pretty cheap to replace. But, like Sir Tainly said, just turn it off for a while.
