Dead GLK12232

I was re-developing a Linux console application controlled by Telnet that I'd done, where commands like .display uptime put the uptime on the screen last night.

Today just using my PC I notice smoke coming from my server, a nice curling stream of smoke from the back of my LCD

:(

Its dead.

Sad to hear :(

Maybe you shorted something by mistake? Very hard to understand how the low power levels a GLK uses could smoke anything :-?

Can you take a piccie of the damage?

Thing is that there isnt any noticeable damage, the display looks absolutely perfect from outside, the smoke was coming from under the back of the actual LCD screen itself. Im not sure what has gone wrong, Can't afford a new one either, bleh.
