I know that when you mess with the internal chassis of electronic devices you should always wear a static discharge bracelet/device so that you don’t zap any of the electronics. But like I said above, the outer case should be grounded to prevent normal static discharges, whether that ground has been damaged is another question. |
promise I will never rub a cat on my screen.
and my dogs are not allowed near it. eeeeee!
thanks for the info. the issue hasn't recurred so I feel sure it was due to static charges from me.
I love this tiny, beautiful thing so much. (just wish it had the PW form factor)
eta - and I know I'm flirting with bad things, but in all my years (decades) working on my pc internals I have never worn a static discharge bracelet/device but always ground myself each time before starting work.
