Disassembling a CRT monitor… Gases? Implosions?
I’ve got a Sun Microsystems CRT monitor from 1997. It hasn’t been plugged in for at least 4 months, so I’m not very worried about getting a shock. I’m more concerned about dangerous gases or, from what I’ve seen when reading around, a possible implosion. I’d like to avoid having my chest punctured by a million flying pieces of glass and would rather not slowly die from harmful gases. I would like to know what parts of the monitor I should be especially careful not to drop, lest face the risk of blowing out my ankles.
There’s nothing pressurized in a CRT, so you can breath a sigh of relief from the whole shrapnel ridden body idea. There’s no harmful gasses either. However, the tube inside the CRT is lead and the dust on the inside of a CRT screen is toxic. If you can avoid it, don’t breath it in and wash your hands when you’re done doing whatever it is you’re doing with it.
