Finding the smell
So before it happens to someone else...
I've been trying to trace this damn smell in my cam room for 2 weeks or so. It smells like super glue. So I know it's electrical of some sort. I went and smelled everything and couldn't find it.
Now most of us don't have to buy a surge protector very often. But I was reading up on it and vaguely remember this happening 5 years ago. So I figured the one with the most devices plugged into it might be it. I went out and got a more expensive one and nope- that's not the problem. So now I'm stumped.
I'm thinking it might be the made in china battery power cord to my laptop. Or the battery itself.
So I thought fuck it. I can't afford a new computer right now, but the smell is making me sick. Gotta work. Got approved for the Best Buy credit and got a tower.
Now it's still happening. I'm looking at my lights and electrical outlets. Plus my cam and my one remaining cheapo surge protector I've had for awhile. So I put the cam and sp in separate rooms on my break. Got away from everything for a bit and then smelled them. It's the sp!!!!!!
So just a heads up!!! They were both Walmart surge protectors and it's just time to change them out. Been a few years.
