A few years ago our DVD player started going funny. This was just before my birthday, when I got the DVDs I wanted for my birthday (and had the day off) I had to get a new DVD player. Because I didn't want to spend the time researching players I wend to Walmart and chose the cheapest one ($30) . I figured it would last a few months to a year then we could replace it.
Today Pat was watching soccer and I was surfing the internet when we heard a little pop. we looked at each other wondering what that noise was. When it happened again shortly after the first pop I walked over to see what was causing the noise. In the short walk that it took to get to the entertainment center smoke started coming from the shelf under the TV. We pulled the TV out to unplug the power strip hoping to avoid a fire or bigger explosion.
Upon inspection the DVD player went out in a spectacular show, I'm just glad we were home for it. Pat unfortunately pulled a muscle as we were pulling the TV out (or maybe when we were putting it back). That put a damper on our plans.
