Step 2INSULATE and GROUND
Be sure to insulate the connection with excellent insulation materials such as paper towels and duct tape. (Just kidding, don't do what I did. Use some non-flammable materials to insulate.) This wire will go to one side of the Jacob's ladder.
Follow the other wire coming out of the flyback transformer, and see where it goes. If there is only one red wire coming out of the transformer like was the case with my monitor you will have to find a another place to solder the ground wire. I soldered my ground wire right where the power cable came into the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
The ground was obvious in my case but you may have to do a little searching to get it right. If you don't ground the circuit right, the electricity will find its own ground, possibly somewhere else on the PCB and cook the whole monitor so good luck! Use a multimeter...
