Title: some noob questions about monitor
Post by: alundra on June 02, 2005, 01:25:13 pm

ive read some tutorial on how to discharge monitor, they said use a wire with one end attach to alligotor clip and the other to a screw driver, but i want to know what exactly the size of the wire have to be..does it matter?
and they said connect the aligator clip to the "chassis" or to the "metal braid/strap on picture tube rear" what exactly are these, i know they have to be metal, but i dont know what they are and what they look like..can somebody explain it and post clear pictures that i can see? thanks
