1. Were cooling vents blocked by chance?

2. Yes, very lucky there wasn't a fire...

3. Probalby crappy design...

4. I don't think you'll get much satisfaction from 'Curtis', but good
luck--and let us know what they say.


I don't believe the vents were "blocked" completely - but then again, if you
set it down flat on any surface, even on a shelf, the same thing would have
happened. IF they knew it would get that hot, they should have made the base
a bit higher and add some vents. Why would they make it to sit flat if that
is going to happen? They shot themselves in the foot if that is the case. I
don't think that set should have malfunctioned so quick regardless. I think
you're probably right about the company. We shall see.
