Hantarex anode wire question
« on: June 16, 2009, 12:17:15 PM »
I finally got the courage to discharge and clean my 2 monitors and I've found something interesting.

There seems to be a bit of copper mesh (shielding) coming out of the anode wire, completely uninsulated  :shock:. Now that doesn't seem right to me but it's the same on both of my mtc-900's... Is this normal?

I was thinking of just wrapping it in electrical tape, but with the heat these monitors produce, it would just fall off in month. What should I do?


p.s. sorry about the crappy pic, didn't have a proper camera with me.

Yes, it's just the shield of that cable and it should be not connected to anything, so it doesn't matter.
