rule of thumb.... if you a see a HOLE don't stick anything in it  :P
so if that suction came off accidently and see the hole from the tube, don't stick your fingers in  :timebomb:

Good Luck....

It is no big deal, really... I think that I have only had a single instance where I got a SNAP when discharging.

Once you know the specifics, it is easy to handle monitors safely.

I did got SNAP lots of times myself. Some of this instances was when i left the suction off for a couple days and when its time for me to move that tube out of the way, when I carried it, my hand/arm was right by that BIG HOLE.  :banghead:

Conclusion, I probably have 3 lives left  :P

I was working on a TV once and was trying to pull that suction cup off. I can't tell you how bad it hurt when I got zapped. It left a pretty big mental scare, I've never played around with the insides of a TV since.

Is there a guide to handling monitors safely, anyone got a link?
