In the following Apple manual:
http://www.usd465.com/staff/classes/service_training/display_foundations/Safety/safety_2.html
it clearly states:
"Before you do anything (including discharging a CRT), turn the monitor off and unplug it."
It is my understanding that CRT discharge is generally run to earth and yet this cannot happen if the power lead (with its earth in the UK) is unplugged and no other earths are introduced.
So, should the power lead be IN or OUT when performing the discharge and if it should be left out where does the charge dissapate to?
Thanks
