## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE TO HNL THE CABIN CREW NOTICED A BURNING ELECTRICAL ODOR IN THE CABIN SHORTLY AFTER BEING INFORMED THE FLIGHT CREW RECEIVED THE EICAS MESSAGES "L RECIRC FAN" AND "OVBD EX VAL".  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED ON TO HNL AND LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE LEFT RECIRCULATION FAN AND THE SYSTEM OPERATED NORMALLY AFTER THE RECIRCULATION FAN WAS REPLACED.
