STRONG ODOR REPORTED VICINITY AT SEAT 36B AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED.  F/A REPORTS ELECTRICAL ODOR IN ADJACENT AREA.  BOTH RECIRC FANS AND  ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM TURNED OFF.  ODOR DISSIPATED WITH RECIRCS OFF.  LONG HISTORY OF PROBLEM.  INSPECT CABIN OVERHEAD AT SEAT 35-36 ABC.  NO ODOR NOTED.  RAN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM TURNED RECIRC FANS/GASPER FAN AND ALL LIGHTS FOR 1 HR.  NO ODOR NOTED.  AFTER OPERATING ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR 4 HRS FOUND THE AVU AT SEAT 35 CDE VERY HOT AND THE COOLING FANS INOP INSIDE THE AVUS.  REMOVED AND REPLACED AVUS.
