I won't open it up unless I have to. I know nothing about electronics. A 
friend of mine repairs TVs, but I don't think he knows much about the 
peculiarities of monitors.

I'd be interested to know how to remove the high voltage, though. If the 
only choice I have is throw the monitor to the garbage, I'll take a look.
