Hi,

My (very pregnant) wife and I came home last night to discover our TV emitting a bad smell like rotting fruit and no longer worked. It seems to have suffered some sort of electrical fault. The TV is a UN85AU8000FXZA, 2021 model, purchased in 2022 from Amazon. Is it repairable? Seems wild that a TV can fail like this 2 years after purchase.
