I found what I thought would make a nice spare
Trinitron monitor, but
there is a tiny pinhole chunk of the glass chipped out on the surface,
about maybe 1.5 mm deep with a diameter of 4mm. Against better
judgement, I switched it on (from a safe distance) and it appears to
function properly.
My question is, how stable is it? Other than the visual defect, is it
safe to operate the monitor, or should I be worried that it will swiftly
implode at any moment?
I can only assume from the overwhelming lack of response that either 1.
there is nothing to worry about, or 2. it is so dangerous that I am a
complete moron for even asking the question in the first place.
I'm open to either answer :-) if someone would just confirm one of them...
