Yup. Stay out! Monitors, TV's, Oscilloscopes, etc. can hold
a dangerous charge for a long time after being unplugged. Even
if they 'zap' you once, you aren't safe because they can still
have enough juice to do it again!

If you think that you must play with stuff that can hurt you at
least get some advice from those that have gone before you. Look
at the general safety notes and monitor repair FAQ below as a
start.

Be careful!
