I did learn one thing 1. I really didnt know that you could get shocked by a monitor after its unpluged. My A+ teacher never taught us that I guess thats why we never really opened a monitor to fix one.
Now Im going to tell my cousin to fix his own 21 inch dell monitor at his own risk. Oh yeah now I know why its so damn hard to open the damn monitor as well. lol Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Ken Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 11:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: fix monitor I realize I am late to this discussion, as I have read many catapult references, however I don't think it was addressed. I am relatively new To the Exchange World, only a year and a half working with it. But I have Been involved with Networking and Computers in general for the last 12 years. I got my start (as probably did everyone here) working on hardware. Richard, I can tell you there are most certainly no user serviceable parts In a monitor. And Opening one up can be Fatal. The Flyback Capacitor Can hold a charge of several thousand volts for years. There is more than enough Voltage there to severely burn you, if not kill you. Like everyone one else Here has said, it's cheaper to buy a new one, then get an old one fixed..... Unless.....You live near a High School that has a Vocational Education Program that specializes in Electronics. These kinds of schools Will usually Fix the equipment at no charge save for parts.
