| zxmpi | my boss a trained electrical engineer once took a dodgy crt monitor apart. after it had been plugged out for 2-3 days to fix it. was in different room when we heard a loud hiss/whine. walked into room of smoke and he was standing there with plasitc handle of screwdriver. the metal had evaporated. | 08:54 |
| daftykins | :o | 08:58 |
| daftykins | made the assumption that 3 days was enough to discharge? ooh | 08:58 |
| zxmpi | he acknowledged that he might have been a little hasty as it was a big monitor | 09:00 |
