Western Digital TV Live Plus Became Fire Hazard

Important!

Dear visitors,

This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.

We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.

At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.

Thank you for understanding.

I have always kept my WD media player turned off when I am not using it, but late one night after 2 AM I noticed the power light was blinking so I went to remote and tried to turn off the device. When I couldn’t turn the device off I went to remove the power plug on the back to find it hot with a toxic smell. Immediately I know I had to remove the media player from the wall socket.

Hi there, I spend a lot of time making this blog.

It would be great if you would consider donating.

Once the media player was unplugged from the wall I waited for the device to cool. Upon lifting the device I heard a rattling sound, the same as an object was inside and rolling about. I believe something had broken off inside and is now free to fly around, whatever this was, the media player can no longer function and there is a burning smell coming off the device.

If I did not notice the blinking light coming from the Western Digital TV Live Plus at around 2 AM August 26, 2015, it would of combusted in flames.
