Ive had my TRS-80 model 4 for many years now. (its the picture in my avatar). Well, last night something really weird happened. I was using BASIC and then decded to step out of the room and get a snack. After eating, when I came back, the room smelt like it was on fire! I got worried and was looking everywhere but did not see and flames or smoke. But it smelt like the dang house was burning down! I realized that it must be the computer so I quickly shut it down. I opened the windows and after a few minutes, decided to use the computer again and check it out. Again, there was no smoke and no flame, but it smelt like there was a fire. I looked into the top of the computer and saw nothing in there except for the back of the tube lit up, which is normal, I believe. The computer worked just fine, though. I finished what I was doing, printed it out on my DMP printer, and that was that.
Did this ever happen to anyone else? What on earth could have been burning?
