It depends what kind. If it is an older one with a CRT (cathode ray tube), it has a capacitor in it that could potentially kill you.

No, it is not safe

if you need to fix it then pay someone who knows what they are doing to do the job.

I agree with the person about the capacitors. I used to work for a place that makes them. If you work on it, wait a few days before working on it. The charge can be real nasty. I know I have been stung working with them after testing.

It is better still to get a new one or get a service tech if you don't know what you are doing.

Just unplug it first.

ADD: I'm sorry, I said that just based on my common sense. If someone who actually knows what they're talking about says it's unsafe, I would listen to them.

it depends on two thing how long has it been unplugged and it depends on what you touch in the back.

As long as you unplug it first and have enough money to replace it when you realize you can't put it back together, I guess its safe.

No

there are capacitors in them that could release a deadly shock.

Even when unplugged.

edit

Telling people it is safe , is a clear violation of Y!A rules that state you should give no answers that are harmful.

Definitely unplug it first.................................

BUT you should also be careful if you have intentions of putting it back together and planning on plugging it back on 0_o
