I've got a Mag DJ920 and I've removed it from the plastic case. There were 2 copper plates (strips) attached (with glue/tape) to the plastic casing. One on the top, one on the bottom. BOth have wires running to the inside of the monitor. The glass itself has 2 pieces of the same copper at the top and bottom of the monitor. What do I need to do with the two strips from the case? I'm not sure what to do , as it's sparked once (I powered it off / unplugged quickly, however the sparking did not affect the picture.)
Thank you so much for any help,

I didn't decase the monitor while it was plugged in. It was sitting there doing nothing then sparked. I decased it, installed it, plugged it in, turned it on, about 30 seconds later it sparked. I shut it down, fiddled with stuff, turned it back on to see if it was dead, it wasn't and it hasn't done anything since.

Ha... easy fix... the two scary strips were to help ground the tube etc... They weren't touching properly, so I re-attached them and used a little electrical tape. NO MORE PROBLEMS!!! WOO! The sparking was caused by static buildup on the tube jumping to the copper strips.
