no it wont damage any components,it will damage you though if you dont do it properly.
you need a long flat blade screwdriver and a wire with crocodile clips on both ends.
connect one end of the crocodile clip to the black uninsulated wires coming from the back of the screen.(as you look at the set from behind they are on the right,youll have to look for them)NOT the deguas cables.or any other cables.
connect the other end to the screwdriver metal shaft.(dont use a insulated screwdriver for obvious reasons)
hold the insulated handle on the screwdriver(dont hold anything but the handle) and slide it under the cap on the ht lead on the screen and make it touch the clip holding it on.(you feel it stop when it reaches it)
you will hear a clap noise, hold it there for 2-3 seconds and repeat about 3 times.
take note here:
dont touch anything metal in the set with your hands.including the pcb's
keep your other hand away from the set when doing this.put it your pocket if you must.
make sure the set is off and unplugged before hand.
if you feel unsafe,dont do it.
you can send the set to me and i'll do the damn chroma/luma added parts for you if you feel insafe.
