    There is a couple of good idea's as far as discharging the tv's further up in this thread. Make or buy a ground strap, or use a screwdriver or insulated sidecutters and discharge the bigger capacitors one at a time. The big ones are what stores the dangerous levels of juice. Keep in mind that there is bleed-off resistors built in that are supposed to safely remove the voltage but it sometimes takes a while to accomplish. Hope this helps,,, Mike
