You should hear some fans spin a bit on the first press. There may still be some charges left over, so dont go touching any contacts! Use insulated tools, dont ground yourself, and i have even heard of people only using one hand, so if they do get a shock, it wont complete a circuit by going through your chest. |
Damn ... now you have me scared .... to think I could have killed myself the last ten times I opened up a PSU. I've always unplugged the psu, and powered on the pc a couple times, and then pulled it out. Never had a problem.
