Waiting won't make it any safer. The capacitors hold a charge
indefiinately. Just be VERY carefull when the TV is open, it will pack a
punch.




I used one hand and wore a heavy rubber glove when reaching inside. My Dad
taught me to keep one hand in my pocket at all times (when possible) when
working around electrical components. As an electrician for 30 years, he
had his share of zaps, fortunately none were very serious.


Hi,
Good. Knit picking here, that one hand in pocket better be left hand
for a reason.
