Getting started. Before you do anything, UNPLUG YOUR CAB !

Through the whole of this proceedure safety is the most important thing on the agenda. Don't cut corners or make assumptions, monitors have " Danger & Risk of Electrical Shock " labels on the back of them for a reason. They can hold voltages in tens of thousands and are killers.

If you are willing to learn how to repair your own monitor, great, its nice to know you are willing to try but PLEASE make sure you use the correct equipment, and most importantly follow the correct procedures with respect to safety.

NEVER go into the back of a monitor with both arms

( if you were to get a shock, it will cross your heart !! ).

Be very, very carefull when removing a monitor or moving it about, as the CRT ( Cathode Ray Tube ) is a bit like a bomb, if you mishandle it or drop it, it will implode first before it chucks fragments of razor sharp glass upto 30 feet. If in doubt, DO NOT TOUCH its a brilliant motto, use it.
