[OPLINLIST] Smoke Smell on Hotspots

[Chad Neeper via OPLINLIST]

You can carefully clean the plastic housing with chemicals (test a hidden
spot first to ensure you don't discolor/damage the plastic), but you should
avoid using chemicals on the electronics, of course. If the device you're
trying to clean has fans and/or vent holes, then blowing the dust out makes
a lot of sense. Dust would retain the smoke smell, so removing the dust
would help remove the smell.

This site has some ideas for you on how to air out electronics:

Good luck!
