I\'ve found a new way to hurt myself...
Before working on a Monitor, one must discharge the Flyback Transformer. To do this, wrap a legnth of wire around an old screwdriver and ground the other end. Slip the tip of the screwdriver under the suction cup on the monitor and listen for a "snap". Wait a few seconds and repeat. The suction cup should now be safe to touch.
If the clip pops out during this procedure, just touch the metal clip with the screwdriver. Now I just found out a charge can be stored in the tube itself and can be released by GENTLY touching the rim of the hole the clip attatches to. If you forget to do this and you accidently touch the hole while attempting to put the clip back in... you will know!
