We all have our problems.
I always found a good shower or bath gets rid of most odours.

Default Dust

In my many years of repairing electronics, computers, tv's, many of them are coated with grease and caked on dust. Unplug it, give it a few minutes to calm down and take the back off and check. If it does need cleaning have someone qualified clean it.

I should’ve deleted the whole post cause the pictures wouldn’t post. It was 4 foot old fluorescent ballister that overheated got really hot. The light flickered giving me clue. When I took cover off it was extremely hot and scorched painted housing. I pulled guts out of fixture and replaced it with 4 foot LED retro kit. Easy to install, less weight, used less wattage, and brighter lights.
