Not sure what it says about me, but this is one of the scariest tasks I've ever done on the job. It's frighteningly simple, but I'd hate to relay in a post form, and I'm not sure I'd actually follow my own advice at this point. :) There are specific tools and procedures that can be researched and used to do it safely, it is not hard to do, and it's over in less than a second. Also, see rule #1. This is from section 3.5 in the manual linked above, kids, don't try this at home, or at work: I forgot about the imploding part! CRT Safety Rules 1. Do not work on a monitor alone. In case of accident, it could save your life to have someone else nearby. Apple recommends that your staff be trained in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). 2. Remove rings, watches, bracelets, hanging necklaces, and other jewelry before performing repairs on a monitor. Metal jewelry is an excellent conductor of electricity. Removing jewelry will reduce the possibility of electric shock . 3. Never use a grounding wriststrap or heelstrap or work on a grounded workbench mat when discharging a monitor or when performing live adjustments. Grounding wriststraps, heelstraps, and mats are used to protect sensitive components from the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge from your own body or clothing. Even though they contain a one-megohm resistor and are designed to conduct only small electrical charges, we recommend that they be used only when working on "dead" (uncharged) equipment. 4. Wear safety goggles when working with a CRT. The CRT contains a high vacuum. If cracked or broken, it can implode (collapse into itself, then explode). To protect your eyes from serious injury, always wear safety goggles when working on or near a CRT, and be careful of other people in the area. 5. Before working inside a monitor, turn off the power and disconnect the AC power cord. Certain parts of a monitor chassis are hot (electrified) when the monitor is under power. Except when you must have the power on (for example, when making live adjustments}, never work on a plugged-in monitor--even if you have the power turned off . 6 . Keep one hand in your pocket or behind your back when working on a live monitor. This practice reduces the risk of current passing through your heart, should you accidentally contact high voltage . Lisa 2 Video Take-Apart rev. Jun 87 page 3.3 7. Always discharge the anode before touching anything inside the monitor. The anode of the CRT maintains a charge of about 15,000 volts DC {even when the power is off). Before touching any internal components you must discharge this voltage. The anode can regain some charge, even after it has been discharged. If the service procedure takes more than 30 minutes, the anode should be discharged again. 8. Never touch the anode connector or the anode aperture. Normally the anode aperture has a connector plugged into it (Figure 1, #2). When a CRT is replaced, the anode connector is removed, exposing the anode. The anode can maintain a charge of several thousand volts (even after the power is of f ) . 9. Do not pick up or handle a CRT by its neck. To prevent an implosion, take every precaution against breaking the tube. Be especially careful with the neck, the area where the tube is the thinnest.

+1 for DC's warning. CRT (Cathode Ray Tubes) depend on a series of capacitors that can retain dangerous charges (like kick you across the room with your own body spasm kind of dangerous). There is a specific component on the board for the monitor that controls the vertical hold. Some monitors will actually have a small dial that can be used for V.hold adjustment, called a Variable Resistor Pot or Trimpot. Sometimes this dial is externally adjustable, sometimes not. Aside from the adjustment, the replacement of the Vertical Output Integrated Circuit would be a possible solution to the rolling screen issue. Looking a little deeper, Apple did not provide the part number for the VO IC in the LISA service guide, and generally recommends the replacement of entire boards/assemblies, rather than individual component repairs.

Which Kill Team rules are you going to use?

I really like this game, but haven't logged on for sometime. Justjokin is my pilot name.

Necrontyr, you are correct. If it was not already apparent, I was having issues with quotes. My apologies for the previous mis-attribution. NOBODY BLAME HIM FOR NOTHING, IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

DAMNIT MULTIQUOTES WHY YOU NO WORK!!!! go page 18 go.

Necrontyr said: This may be just from a guard players perspective....but I feel like people always under prepare for armor. I mean anything can kill an infantry model. That and flyers, you just never know when you are gonna fight a single flyer and you can ignore it....or when you are gonna be fighting a fleet/horde of flying MC Or facing 3 Helldrakes, 3 squads of oblits(one deep striking), Typhus, and 170 zombies. Under prepare for flyers? You are screwed. Under prepare for deepstrikers/reserves. You are screwed. Under prepare for hordes. You are screwed. Bring an all comers list. You are screwed. Did I mention I had a very friendly opponent? edited for my inability.

DDub, No travesties occurred in my OFCC games. Pure fun, and thank god I don't have any daughters. Even my toughest matches and my losses. FW, Zombies, whatever. The atmosphere was/is great. I have/only have 10 OFCC matches under my belt, but it will be 15 by next year, if I have my way. I run pure Tau, no hijinks. I went in with the attitude to have fun, and I didn't do half bad. By the way, doing 'half bad, half good' is called the 'OFCC experience", and is worth a bonus point for your team! What ever negativity there might be in this thread, I don't recall it being in the room during the event. Also:

You know, for those fluffy non-competitive FW units. :) Pardon the snarky, I couldn't resist. FW ON MY FRIEND! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Pretty sure I killed it with a puppy. :0 Good Game All!

DMB stickers will always mean Death Metal Batman to me, I'm looking forward to great juxtapositions! I truly appreciate it. I had wondered where the bagging combo gif had come from. Now, it is known... Ra Ra Rasputin!!! http://www.youdubber.com/index.php?video=13sxFHM6Mjg&video_start=3&audio=OBXRJgSd-aU&audio_start=66

OH Damn... is this not the random photo thread?

I played against both Scott's Grot Tanks and Torg's Eldar w/Hornets. I thoroughly enjoyed both matches, and had much "better" games than against the 170 zombie / 3 Helldrake list that didn't have a drop of FW. Talk about F'd Up Meta! In all three matches I had great opponents. I also had fun, which apparently is towards the top of the rules list...

I have a ship, but am waiting for the game to be released before I give it my full attention.

Spoiler wont save us from this./..

I read it as "The Effining"

Playing apollo, going for a supremacy victory. Will report back when successful. I still miss Alpha Centauri.

I played a full game of (old school) Axis and Allies once, solo, when I was stuck out in the middle of nowhere with my parents as a kid. It was like playing chess against yourself. No surprises, except when inspiration strikes or the dice make it so...
