Fire Up CRT TV/DVD Without CRT Connected?
 

I need to start up my Toshiba 9" TV/DVD TV to remove a DVD. I have the
CRT removed (long story). Is it safe to just ground the HT lead to
chassis and have the neck board disconnected for a few seconds power up
to cycle the tray without blowing up the boards?
Thanks
JR

Turn the tray motor by hand.

Or just take a 16" screwdriver to it. Break off any plastic that gets
in your way.

Turn the tray motor by hand.

This is the best suggestion.

Grounding the HT lead when powering is a sure way to blow it up.

Just turn the tray motor by hand. Didn't I hear that before? :)

..... personally.... I like the "16 inch screwdriver" idea.
