[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 188944, member: 199791"] I've never had any problems when repairing my TV (there was a bad solder connection on the Invertor that powers the screen, so resoldered it, I got it for free because of this fault, has been fine since, until recently), but I left it switched off for a day before I did to make sure it was reasonably safe to work on. It's starting to go again, but as it's now my only TV I'm not going to take it apart until it's dead again... However, when I tried to repair a PC monitor once, I accidentally shorted a high-voltage component and blew a chunk out of my screwdriver and the part exploded sending a peice flying into my face, luckily it hit my cheek and not my eyes... :eek: That was one nice monitor ruined, turned out that the power switch was broken...:( [/QUOTE]
