My monitor popped in the corner and it started burning. I didn’t even do anything. What should I do with the monitor since it’s clearly a fire hazard. I bought the monitor off Facebook

did you cat bite the corner like some other post yesterday?
Well I’d say turn it of idiot
Find a place that accepts electronics recycling. That’s it. Probably keep it outside for a bit just in case it’s still smoldering.
Game until it starts visibly catching on fire then you can consider second hand market
Been messing with computers for the better part of three decades…. I have never seen this happen.
Man that screen is fire 🔥
First: stop filming
Second: turn it off
i will never understand why you guys just sit there and watch it. if something like this happens i am diving to pull out that power cord.
Might wanna check the grounding on your wall outlets too
> What should I do with the monitor since it’s clearly a fire hazard.

/s

It’s calling it’s mothership
Did you try turning it off and then on again?

Monitor popped then started burning
choose an option:
1. Unplug it and take measurements for potential fire hazard.
2. Record it and upload it to Reddit, is not like it will burst into flames
Is it on fire or is that just the backlight? In any case, the liquid crystals are fucked beyond repair. Maybe you could try to fix it by swapping the panel with one from a broken monitor of the same model.
5000 nits peak brightness in 1% window.
I wonder what happened there electrical wise
I’m watchin this as i”m listening to Firestarter by The Prodigy
It was already dead when it popped, what’s wrong with filming as this is a rare occurrence?
Go ahead and turn the monitor off and unplug it, one time for the homies
Step one: Unplug it.
Step two: ready fire extinguisher.
Step three: Grab from form the other side and take it outside away from anything flammable
Step four: Spray it with water, lots of water.
Guess I’ll burn
I love it when my pixels get crispy
Shit’s on fire yo.
RMA that sucker, they’re gonna WANT the monitor to do a root cause failure analysis to figure out WHAT went wrong exactly.
Power off, pull the plug! Class B fire…
