I was joking. Um one thing I'm not clear on, when i slide the screwdriver under the cup, do I then take the cup and anode OUT? or am I supposed to leave it in? If I take it out, what do I do to "discharge it again" as people suggest? Do I just waggle the screwdriver in the hole in the tube?? ~Ray B. |

After you slide the screw driver under there, wait about 2-3 min. then do it again. If you don't hear a sound the second time (a pop or a sizzle) then you can remove the suction cup and there is NO need to stick the screwdriver into the hole at all! If on the 2nd time you still hear a sound, wait another 2-3 min and do it again. |

Please discharge the monitor again before you hook it back up. I learned the hard way. I was re-attaching the suction cup and using a screw driver to squeeze the clip together and my hand slipped from the handle of the screw driver to the metal shaft. Wow, talk about a jolt! I'm sure it wasn't full voltage, since I had discharged it already, but for some reason, a charge can build again. In my situation it had been several hours that the monitor was sitting. Anyway, even if you've discharded a monitor, go ahead and do it again just before you mess with the suction cup. Rocky |
