And don't try to repair a power supply unless you really know what you are doing (they can shock the snot out of you).


200% on that! DO NOT attempt service/repair of ANY psu if you arent a qualified tech.

I used to do video installations for exhibition in art shows, galleries, and events. I had a friend who used to do assemblage art with old tvs another artist friend of his died from getting shocked in a junkyard trying to remove an old crt from an old tv to salvage the frame. THe tv was from the 60s and the charge stayed on the coil all those years. It stopped his heart and killed him on the spot!

I replaced an Imac (when they first came out) crt and you should have seen the DEATH warnings in the official apple service manual! ( go online and dl it!)
