I suppse that my recomendation could be a bit dangerous to someone who isn't experience working inside monitors and power supplies. By all means let your power supply rest for a day or more before working on it, but not every single power supply will discharge by then, so I always make sure to short the terminals no matter how long it has been off. Think of it as the second line of defense, rather than your first line of defense against dangerous electricity.
