Holy cow, strange coincidence! I just bought a 1084S off Craigslist a few weeks back, and mine just died this evening. Terrible burning smell internally as well. I had it on for a short time this evening, and was looking at my phone while it was sitting idle, and heard it sound like it just turned off by itself, but the power button was still on. The picture was gone though, then a few moments after noticed the burning smell. I've yet to take it apart to try to diagnose yet. Pretty sad since I was loving this 1084s, picture and sound were amazing. Plus I'm waiting for my HC508 to come in the mail next week and have no monitor!
