[BNM] [OT-ish] hardware hacker wanted

[Richard Grimwood]

CRT has a High Tension (read that as 10-12KV) circuit. It will bite even 
after switching off. Usually you need to discharge by earthing the unit 
(plugged in switched on but switched off at wall socket).  Then use car 
jump lead attached to earth frame and the blade of well insulated 
screwdriver. Slide that under the HT cap on side of monitor. Have made a 
guest appearance on other side of room when fiddling with TV's myself I 
recommend you make sure  there is nothing painful to land on behind you 
and someone else is there to capture it on you tube / phone emergancy 
services.
