my tv just damn EXPLODED!
ok, so it didn't go real big kaboom, lol.. but it shot out sparks, made a really nasty noise, and has weird stuff that has oozed out of the sides. i was standing right next to and touching it when it happened too, and now my hand is bleeding and i'm not sure how it happened.

:scared:

9. Whatever that shit that oozed out is, it's probably not anything you want in your living space.

3. ... dude.
Is there a history of alien activity in your area? Their advanced technology screws around with our primitive electronics.

Burn the witches!

4. Unplug the TV
Just in case unplug the TV. Then take a good look at the cut on your hand.

22. holy moly
Hope you're ok now. Has is your hand doing?

Some thing had to short. You may have had another one of those major electrical surges that blew your computer awhile back.

You're like Ben Franklin with his kite, you draw electricity! ;)

10. Put it outside if you can
get it out of the house. Preferably where critters can't get to it. What part got your hand? A spark? Something glass or plastic? The ooze?

18. Be sure to check it
before you go to bed to make sure nothing is smoldering. Hubby is a fireman, that advice comes straight from him. Be sure to take care of that hand. Type one-handed and keep the hurt one elevated. We promise to read your posts slowly since you're probably typing slower. :rofl:

19. flat screen tv?
was it a plasma tv?

Exploded and cut your hand - hmmm maybe a products liability case.

You may want to google the make and model and see if others have reported this type of t.v. doing the same thing.

take care of your hand check on it and be sure it's not doing weird things. (the cut, not like hand puppets or anything).
