WARNING!
http://tinyurl.com/357ebm
eMacs have CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays. It is dangerous to open up your eMac. CRTs can carry a
lethal high voltage charge
even after the computer
is turned off and unplugged.
You could be electrocuted.

  • How did you find this out ??? and did it hurt ??

  • I was almost going to mention in the video that no, I wasn't shocked. I do want people to understand the danger of disassembling an eMac, many people don't know that a charge stays in the CRT even after being umplugged for days. This is the same danger in taking apart a TV.

  • Macs suck.

  • I think Macs rule. I wish I could afford a brand new one , the top of the line would be sweet. Even the boot time is better. I think you would be shocked at how fast my eMac boots and shuts down.

  • This is why we use a PC... duh!

  • I you are buying new, the new iMacs don't even have CTRs, they have flat screens so it isn't an issue with new ones.

    But I think Macs are great, especially for artistic stuff like video and pictures.

  • i like your voice. and i like how you can make every bulletin-- such as this warning about a CRT-- into an urgent actionable request. i look forward to more videos & hopefully longer ones where you go in depth about an issue.

  • That's why its recomended to leave it off at least 12 hours before opening it.

  • What if you smash the f*clerk to Peices, will it discharge then? :P

  • The main electrolytic capacitor (large cylindrical component) does usually contain about 300V - 500V with unlimited amperage, which can kill. If you know what you are doing though, you can discharge it with an insulated-handle screwdriver and then it should be safe to handle and still work afterwoods. In some monitors there is a bleeder-circuit, which will discharge the capacitor within an hour or so, but be safe and still discharge it again anyway.

  • Great quality. =P. Good information though.

  • @L0vethehater Umm... PC's have used use CRT's also, and if you take apart a CRT it's a high voltage risk.

  • you wont get elect if u use rubber gloves

  • YOU SUCK
