NO! NO! NO! The chassis of any monitor can conduct high-voltage and/or
high amperage signals through you and KILL! Your continued survival
is no reason to urge others to potentially dangerous actions.

NEVER work on a monitor when it is plugged in unless you REALLY know
what you are doing. Even unplugged monitors may carry dangerous
charges in capacitors for quite some time as well.

Be careful out there.
