Anti-static precautions?...

I see what your saying now. Makes sense now. I was looking at from a standpoint that if the discharge occurred through the case first it wouldn't effect the electronics.

Yeah i'm an electronics technician for the F35 in the marine corp, but I picked up my A&P before I joined.

once you touch metal object, aren't you the ground?? no need to answer, i think all aspects covered, cheers

Nice mate, great aircraft, Australia is buying 100 of them. I worked on the FA18s.

As long as there is a circuit. A case that is isolated (unearthed) only discharges into a resistive circuit ie your components

Meh, its a pos. But I anything is when you've worked on them long enough lol. Good debate man. Cheers

Ditto man, nice to talk to you.

Have you ever worked in a mushy-factory?

Just throwing this out there, luckily most things out there today are fairly resilient vs what the sensitivity was back in say the 1980s for semiconductors and ESD, but id still be afraid with ram, but ram always is my bane...evil evil crap them be. Still doesnt mean you should be rubbing cards on the carpet to see if they work after c.c;

Exactly. Keeping a PC plugged usually requires no action

Pretty much, thats all i did when i installed ram, though case is painted, so probably just touching a thumbscrew on the drive cage would do though in that case i think...

Should do.

I haven't even heard of it. What is it?

Anti-static lab. Nasa standard circuit design. the name comes from the white anti-static suits you have to wear, you look like a mushroom!
