That sucks. One time my monitor had smoke coming out of it. Some of us were choking, so we had to get it out of the room quickly.
Sorry to be of no help. I'd suggest taking it in to get inspectorgadgetized.

Can you replace that?

Happened to my old apple studio display. First the screen zapped like there was some huge static discharge and then eventual it resorted to smoke and fire.
Called apple, they took it away and fixed it no problem and it was long past warranty. Must have been a manufacturing defect for a certain lot. 2 years later and its still working fine.
Call the manufacturer, you never know.

if it was a circuit in your home try unplugging the monitor, flip your breakers a couple times, then plug it back in and see if it works...if you are plugged in to a surge protector do the same for it...try another outlet too...just to make sure it's your monitor and not the outlet...happens to me sometimes...my electricity glitches a lot

ok, i have a lot of other stuff plugged into that same surge protector. everything works fine except the monitor.
i did smell something strange a few minutes after the circuits went.
hmm i'm gonna give it mouth to mouth.
thanks for the words.
