      Yep, this power supply is torture alright.

    What I learned from my internship, which included fixing monitors: lightbulb glass is an excellent insulator for leaking capacitors.

    1. Break light bulb into large concave pieces.
    2. Cup piece around arcing leak of power supply.

    You can get a couple more years out of a monitor if you don't mind the occasional pops and crackles.

    In soviet russia power supply torture tests you

    I HATE the soviet russia jokes. I almost always mod them down whenever I get mod points. They're unoriginal, and usually sound 'forced' or nonsensical.

    But I have to give it to you- this was the best one I've ever seen.
