Tough luck son, but I applaud you for honoring your parents - that's more
important.

It actually is a rule imposed by my parents, as suggested by someone else.
I'm 19 and have been doing electronics for a while and am aware of the
safety issues involved, but while I'm living at home, I respect the rules
imposed on me by my parents. Even if I hate them (especially in this
case).
It took me long enough to convince them that I knew how discharge
everything
adequately to be able to even touch the thing with the power off. So I
don't
think I'll be able to work on the while they are live until I either leave
home, or get a job in the industry for a while.
So if anyone has any ideas about the monitors...

Thanks
Andrew Howard

what do you mean "I am not allowed to work on them or test them at all
while there is power in it"? if these are YOUR monitors, than you can
do whatever you want. If these are NOT your monitors, then let the
moron who made this ridiculour rule deal with it. You cannot fix a
monitor with no power applied. can a mechanic fix a car without running
the engine at all? maybe in some case, but most of the time then need
to run the engine. What about a doctor analogy, how can you diagnose
and cure a patient if you are not allowed to take blood pressure, heart
rate, etc. You get the picture. You are nnot stupid. Whoever said that
you can fix the monitors but yo cannot apply power is stupid.

BTW: I hope you know what you are doing, yes, it can be dangerous and
maybe that why the "no-power-policy", buut still, if you know what you
are doing, either apply power, or give up.
