Glad to hear it was so easily fixable.

If you learn any more about the source of "the brown plague", please let

nicotine ?



It does look like that, although It is beyond me how it could have gotten
between the panel and the front glass.
I can't smell cigarettes on the tv, but that's not proof. Inside the vents
on the top of the tv look like a large capacitor or something caught on fire
and the smoke left residue on everything. I can't find any evidence of
component damage though.

Maybe the person who owned this before was a chain smoker that kept their
windows shut. haha..
