Ah I was thinking or rather trying to imagine you taking the monitor to pieces ( that would have pleased someone near and dear) and it was the PSU (so to speak).
Hope you took the right precautions my friend as they are quite dangerous things as I am sure you will know even at low volts the current is the killer. Yep I knew about the capacitance logic as I built a few scanners when I was younger for detecting solid or metal objects behind wall linings.
I have just done some extensive research and testing on getting the charge out of PSU's before dismantling them for whatever reason. We are currently (no pun intended) working on a device and / or method of safely discharging the caps in PSU's in order that it minimises at the very least and preferably negates the danger of dangerously high voltages and currents being present when any individual is working on a PSU/s.
I also gave Britton some information to be put into the really well done and laid out tutorial he did if you are interested.
I am a RN by profession and have some knowledge of the physics behind heart monitoring and cardiac arrhythmias which is why I am trying to work out a solution because of the problem of still charged fully or partly caps in PSU's interfering with the hearts "electrical" system.
So please anyone reading this take note these devices are dangerous even when slightly charged - at worst they can kill - at least give you a nasty shock and / or burns!
Now I shall get off my soapbox LOL!!
