Yes indeed. Use plastic tools, and be careful. One thing worth doing
with the Microvitek, and with power *long* off is to hoover it. It is
mightily prone to high voltage sparks when very dusty. When this
happens, it kills the 8301. I have seen many examples of failed QLs
due to this, and actually saw (and heard) the spark myself on one of my QLs.

Yes! I once had a loud crackle (and smell) .... but 'got away with it' :)
Thereafter, I lifted the monitor into a coolish airing cupboard for a couple
of days if it had been long dormant.
There's more to this computing lark than the general public appreciate!
Best wishes to all

PS Though I had crossed a demarcation line - I didn't do the ironing!
