i take it you've not been bitten by a high tension transformer yet believe me it hurts i was just trying to ensure the guy was gonna be careful, of course he's gonna try it, cos it's cheaper than buying a new one
pcrepair When I was a child my friends and I used to join hands and then grab hold of an electric fense (farming country) to see who would let go first. I've been shocked by prying through the remains of a discarded TV before and once trying to remove a broken lightbulb that hadn't been turned off (I was about 15 then). LOL I wouldn't think twice about trying to fix something if I thought that it would work, it's my nature to try.
1 of the companies i had worked at back in 84 built dec compatible work stations & osborne executive computers. it was my job to test & align the osborne's 5" monitor.
ok.. i dont like the idea getting a high voltage shock.. sounds bad.. i dont think i would know wher to start eaither... will the transformer still give you a shock even if the moniter is unplugged? .. like does it store energy or somthin... anyway i'm sure there are some cheep good qaulity moniters about that will done fine.. i hear newegg have some very cheep good quility moniters.. might check them out
ddp 84 was back in the early PC days, back when Pentium's didn't exists. I have a friend who used to work for Intel and he tries to explain how things were then with the big systems. I've been at it since about 1981 when Radio Shack was competing with early Mac's as the persobal computers of choice.
