Definitely not the issue. the hovel is late 1940's construction and the
major VOC sources are 30+ years old, unless the mobo itself is toxic,
but non other of the trio has that problem.
I'm coming to the conclusion that a lot of mass produced electronic
products suffer from very poor quality soldering and this is probably
such a case.
FWIW, I experience a VOC issue in the 1990's when i was working User
support and the mob I worked for decided to go with the ACER plastic
386(?) computer into a newly buld and furnished tower building. I
quickly twigged that various computer failures were down to
'cruft' coating the various contacts and reinserting them a few
time would fix the problem. Well before it was documented in the
science press.
We're still to experience flotsam and jetsum clogging the various
min-usbs floating around. The mobile phone spends most of it life
packed ina soft cover as it only ever travels when we go on major trips
for emergency use.
