And you put your hand back in without knowing anything about why?  Doing it once is a stupid error... doing it twice is Natural Selection.  Close the cabinet and do some reading about monitors.  Don't open the cabinet again until you can explain to someone else how to discharge a monitor safely.  This is not a joke.  You are playing with your life here and you clearly don't respect the fact that this thing could kill you.

2PacMan:
Well, i know well enough to stay away from the monitor now.  I fiddle with other things, but i don't get involved with the monitor at all, cause i don't know much about it.

ChadTower:
You do know there is electricity in the other parts too, yes?

2PacMan:
Care to elaborate??  If you would like to give helpful advice, i'm open to it...i'm new.

But....if you are just going to keep telling me to leave my game alone and don't give me any info, that's not helping.

I don't want to make any enemies here, i just want some constructive advice on games, that's all.

ChadTower:
The best advice I can give you is to pop onto Google, find some good arcade repair primers, and read them.  Then read them again.  I said that before and it is the best advice we can give you.  I'd give you a really good source, but it seems to be down right now, and I have a feeling it's not coming back.

That top link into the secret dept, if it comes back, read it ALL twice.  That's the very best advice you're going to get.  Study and read and learn.
