Re: Trouble shooting with a CRT Monitor

It can most certainly be repaired, but before you remove ANY of the screws, think: Do you have any training on dealing with high voltage? Or someone nearby (old ham radio operator, or TV repair guy) who can stop by and explain how to avoid killing yourself?

If not, stop. Recycle it.

I was zapped by CRT voltage once, and lived to tell - not many can say that. And, that's not the most dangerous thing in there.

It is probably a fuse in the power supply, but I really hesitate to encourage you to go in there. It's not like a computer, where nothing's lethal - in a CRT device, almost everything is dangerous, even the plain metal chassis.
