Default I've just broken my CRT monitor, now I'm worried...

B,
I'm trying to put back my Sony TV, I pulled the flyback board and had
to unplug the high-votage wires.
Problem is I can't remeber for sure which one goes where.
The fat red one (with the suction cup) is obvious, but the other two
I'm having a problem with. One goes to the CRT board socket, the other
goes to a connector soldered right to the board.
How can I trace them back from the flyback board?
One is red and the other is white. I think the white one goes to the
connector.
The red one to the socket.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,


I've just dropped my CRT monitor while moving house. I powered it up to
see if it still worked. It made a loud electrical buzzing sound and
sparked inside at the back.


Before I dumped it in the bin I thought I'd have a peek inside to see
if I thought it was repairable. The clear glass at the very back of the
CRT had shattered, I think around the electron gun/heater - so I guess
it ain't repairable!


Since then I've read bits about lead-lined glass and x-rays, so I'm
worried.....


Could I have been exposed to anything when the glass shattered inside
the set or when I powered the thing on with the glass shattered?


No. You're fine.


It's no big loss either because there are loads of used monitors
running around for 5 dollars or less.


After the AT I bought used with a monitor, the next and better one was
one I found in the woods lying in the snow. The uppper corner was
broken and it may have been thrown from a car on the road nearby, or
at least pushed down the little hill. I let it dry for 3 or 4 days
and it lasted for 6 years or more. I wanted to know the specs, before
there was much of a web, and I called NEC and eventually I told her
that I found the monitor in the woods, and she didn't mind at all.
She said they still support their products.


Thanks.


Remove NOPSAM to email me..I'm currently using a sony e-200 trinitron found tossed in a skip and

full of water. drained, dried and cleaned her out, changed some caps
and works like a champ 7 months later.
