Hi
i am facing a problum that there is a Electricity on my monitors secteen ...YES On Glass Secreen .... i dont know what is that problum but when ever i touch my monitors secreen then i face a electrical shock
i am sure this is not a static charge that is normaly produce on secreen i check with Tester (A secrew driver have a bulb and lit that bulb if any medium have current) and it Lits
so please if some one have knowledge about that abd solution then please help me to solve that problum
Note: Some Tecnician check that monitor and told me that this is some EARTH problum but thay also can not correct that problum
thanks
cora

A short, practical diagnostic checklist to separate harmless static from a hazardous leakage on a CRT screen. reported getting shocks and earlier replies suggested cleaning and anti-static fixes; the points below focus on safe, non-invasive tests, likely causes, and what a qualified repair shop should check.

First steps (no opening of the monitor): plug the monitor into a known-good, properly grounded three-prong outlet (an inexpensive three-light outlet tester will confirm outlet wiring). Avoid any two-prong "cheater" adapters. If the sensation stops on a confirmed earth, the problem is a missing or faulty earth. If it continues, use a non-contact mains voltage tester at the glass and metal parts; a positive detection at mains frequency points to leakage. For someone experienced with mains work, a proper AC meter reading between the metal/chassis and true earth will show whether a continuous AC voltage is present—but only perform that if comfortable and trained.

Likely causes and repairs: a defective or missing safety earth, a damaged power lead or plug, or internal leakage (failed insulation or line-filter components) are common culprits. Some equipment can show a small, harmless tingle from EMI suppression parts, but continuous shocks, visible sparking, or shocks from exposed metal are not acceptable. A competent technician should measure earth-continuity and leakage current, replace the power cord if needed, and inspect/replace faulty line-filter parts or insulation.

Safety: do not open a CRT—lethal voltages remain after unplugging. If a local technician said "earth problem" but did not fix it, insist on specific tests for earth continuity and leakage current or consult a different shop or certified electrician. If the unit cannot be made electrically safe, it should be taken out of service.

I'm a monitor technician. Not to make light of your problem, but there is no way that your problem is as described--glass is an insulator. Monitor screens produce static. The test light you describe is neon, and a static charge will light a neon bulb.

Clean your screen face with glass cleaner, it will help.

I have seen reports that certain brands of fabric softener will help to rapidly dissipate the static charge on the CRT. Maybe those sprays that eliminate clothing static will work, too?

those monitors do produce alot of static. clean it! thats all u need to do. if u got shocked by touching metal parts then i would be worried.
