Need help with de-casing CRT computer monitor
Zebidee:
It really is as easy as it looks.
Sometimes you get a loud pop, sometimes a crickle, sometimes nothing (many more modern CRTs have discharging circuits to drain charge). Hold screwdriver there for a few seconds
Fwiw I’ve been zapped a few time by the anode despite discharging, because CRT can still have some charge even after discharging (is why I say keep screwdriver there a few seconds). It definitely tickles when it zaps your inside forearm where the skin is more sensitive :p

Yes it is that easy.
Stick one hand in your back pocket to keep it out of the way.
I do it once. Wait a minute and then do it again.
I haven't been zapped ...yet.

You have likely been zapped with static electricity louder than the pop you will hear.. and with as many volts..
It's only nerve wracking the very first time.. after that its old news..
The real trick is making sure you get the prongs squeezed and re-inserted properly.. You flip the sides of the suction cup UP - then squeeze the prongs and you want them both INSIDE the hole and grabbing the inside.. then let the cup wings down and give it a little tug/twist. It should be pretty firmly in place.

That sounds like dating advice.
