Thanks for the quick responses... The smell is hard to describe. It's sort of a pungent burning vinyl smell, not really something I would call fishy. It seems to be most pronounced near the AC adapter port, but it's noticeable everywhere. I can smell it from here.

I am currently trying the hyper-terminal trick, but I'm having non-empeg related difficulties...
