The in-flight entertainment panel, including the multi-port jack , of seat 47K suffered heat and fire damage. - TRANSPORT SAFETY INVESTIGATION BUREAU

The incident happened at about 11.15am local time , as the plane was approaching Los Angeles.According to the report, a passenger in seat 48K alerted the cabin crew when he noticed smoke coming out from the IFE panel directly in front of him. SIA had noted that a multi-port jack panel of seat 41K in the same aircraft had emitted smoke four days before the flight, according to the report.

Following the March 27, 2023, incident, SIA checked the aircraft’s electrical system for the IFEs and found previously undetected damage to the wires and cable insulation at yet another seat – 41H. Investigators noted that the manufacturer of the IFE, which was not named in the report, had issued two modifications to address the overvoltage in the MPJ.Following the incidents, the manufacturer recommended checks on the cable harness in the seats’ armrest every five to seven years for signs of incorrect or degenerated cable routing, or connections that could lead to cable damage.In the report, the TSIB recommended that SIA replace the MPJs on its Boeing 777 fleet with modified units.
