The red suction cap just fell off!!!!
lettuce:
I have just been cleaning out my almost complete Jamma cabinet and have just noticed that the red suction cab on the monitor isnt attached to the back of the monitor!!! How is this possible, i dont remember knocking it at all, and if i didnt notice knocking it surely it would have made some sort of noise that would of grabbed my attention!??. Do these things come away themselves???, how do i put it back together, is my monitor now scrap?? HELP!!

BE VERY CAREFULL!!!
That suction cup covers the anode. You don't want to just stick it back on.
Read the discharging FAQ in the monitor forum. You will want to discharge your monitor before putting that back on for safety reasons.

just read the FAQ, with the suction cap off, i know i need to attach an alligator clip to the earch wire around the mnitor and to a flat head screw driver, do i place the flat head screw driver over the hole that the cap and clip was covering?? or stick it in the hole?
SirPoonga:
I haven't discharged a monitor yet, will move thread to monitor forum and see what answers you get...

Put everything down, walk away, and stay alive. Seriously, you have a lot of reading to do before you should try what you're describing.
