Why internal CRT service is specialist work

CRTs involve potentially lethal high voltage, stored energy and an evacuated glass envelope that can implode if mishandled. The cabinet’s appearance and the time since unplugging do not establish safe internal conditions.

Do not disassemble, discharge or probe a CRT as a beginner. This course teaches recognition, history and professional referral. Modern display power supplies can also contain hazardous stored energy; flat-screen does not mean safe to open.
