What does it mean when the electronics in my house give off a fishy smell?

Answer #1

Its usually caused by the circuts burning heavy ammounts of dust. try using canned air and spraying it all off. Be sure to unplug them when dusting.

Answer #2

so its not dangerous?? :o thanks =]

Answer #3

No not normally. It happens often to old houses, or thints that just sit around. It happens mostly to space heaters after sitting all year.

Answer #4

Make sure you fix this, because i ignored this sign(idiot me) and I went on a vacation for school, locked my door, came back, and the whole room smelled of fish, so I unscrewed the plug it was coming from, and it was beet red, as if it was on fire. my dad had to shut off my fuse, and get a whole new circut for my room. It was just grand.
