An electrolytic capacitor is most likely over heating due to a failure. DO
NOT use the set this way. Using it, may cause more damage, and also present
a safety issue. Get it properly serviced!

I have a 14" JVC TV which I purchased new about 2 and a half years ago.
Ever since I bought this TV, I've noticed a very strange problem with
it. When the TV has been on for about a half hour or longer, it starts
to give off an odor that is similar to a skunk or a latex glove. It's
awful. It's only when the TV is on, not off. I thought over time, the
smell would eventually disappear, but it doesn't seem to be...
What could possibly be wrong? What could be causing the TV to smell
like this?
Thanks.
