Got my hands on an old Dell E193FP LCD monitor for a few minutes to play around with. Owner has had it shelved for a while, but is in great cosmetic shape, though they said the last time they used it, it started to make a strong electrical scent and smoke out the back. Sure enough, I plugged it up and gave it native res / refresh rate input, and it began to do exactly that after about ten minutes. There's also an audible buzz coming from the back that varies dependent on resolution and if it's switching from one to another, the transitional period being the loudest.
What might be the issue here? The image is very nice, consistent, no dead pixels / no flickering, and the backlighting appears to be in good shape. I'd like to repair it if at all possible.
