I used a jumper cable and clipped one end to the frame & a screwdriver to the other end. Slipped under the cap and.. it worked great! Scott |

Well guys, I am back from the hospital now. They say I'll slowly regain use of my arm in about 6 months. |

I hope you are not serious :-) I have a monitor I too am going to discharge this winter when I get a chance to do some work on this machine I have, so don't scare me like that or I'll be wearing a rubber suit when I do it haha |

I use a screwdriver with a clip on the frame too. I tried to build bob's but I lost interest after the drill broke. The clip works fine. I've used it dozens of times in G07's and a couple of wells garners. It's pretty freaky discharging the flyback the first time. But after a while you get used to it. I like to hear that pop. If the monitor is cold, it won't pop or make any noise. I suggest you make sure you hit the wire and leave it on there a few minutes before you remove the chassis. If not, then discharge it and then wait about 3-5 minutes and then do it again. Also, be careful of that big cap on the board. It can bite too. |

one thing.... if the monitor has a hv rectifier, you could blow it. (You can build a small circuit to protect it) Its very easy to tell if you have one because it will be in line ( big red wire the runs from the flyback to the cub ) |
