Discharging a CRT (or trying to)

Hey viewers. Me and the rest of my computer repair class were attempting to discharge this CRT monitor. We were using a computer repair manual instructions on how to do it, but it didnt work. If you have ever discharged a monitor and gotten a result, please tell me if i am doing anything wrong.
Please dont go and try this however unless you know what you are doing. As you can see, everyone in this video is wearing proper safty goggles to protect their eyes and we also knew all the precautions. CRT monitors can hold a charge up to 2,500 volts, which is enough to kill you.
thanks
Bryan

That CRT may not have even held a charge. Plus i looks like you grounded your screwdriver to the chassis and didnt ground the chassis. Theres your problem.

@turkycheese you didnt have the screw driver tied to ground, if its not tied to ground, nothing happens, and no common metal isnt ground, i mean like earth ground, or like on a wall socket

[iToasterman]

@turkycheese theres monitors that hold more then 2,500v! D:!!!! lol

Just pull the final anode off and dump it to chassis. There will only be a small crack then hold your earth tag to the tube anode for the same. Simple 5 second task.
