monitor neck board removal. Do I need to discharge the monitor first???

Question from Kelly: Hi there, I was installing a monitor into Space Invaders and cracked the neckboard of my monitor. Do I have to discharge the monitor to remove the neckboard? Also, Space Invaders doesn’t have a monitor with a metal frame. The monitor just lays down into a wood frame where it gets bolted down. The pcb for the monitor sits underneath on a wood shelf. When I was installing the newer monitor into it, I didn’t realize the monitor was deeper and the neckboard hit the wood shelf that the pcb sits on. So with no metal frame how would I discharge the monitor anyway? Never discharged a monitor but your video makes it look simple. Thanks, Kelly
