How To Discharge A CRT Monitor And Change A Reversed CRT Image,General Game Room Madness
Just wanted to show you guys what Ive been up to with the game room :)
*IMPORTANT NOTE*
Once you remove the anode cap from the back of the monitor make sure that you LEAVE THE SCREWDRIVER IN THE HOLE in the back of the tube. Make sure that the wire is still connected and leave the screwdriver there until you finish taking the board off of the tube or doing any other repairs to the board. Once you are finished with the work you are doing, remove the screwdriver from the hole in the monitor and replace the anode wire with the suction cup.
Because the tube acts like a giant capacitor and by leaving the screwdriver in the hole you will prevent the monitor from regaining a charge and protect yourself from a possible shock that the monitor may regain.
Please pause the video at the point you see the Annotations and do what I mentioned here.
Do not worry about the suction cup on the flyback transformer, keep that screwdriver in place on the monitor and the wire for the screwdriver connected to the chassis and leave it there until you are finished doing what you need to.
Once you are done, remove the screwdriver and put the cap on there.
