I’ve done basic internal computer stuff for the last 25 years or so. Back in the day there was lots of talk about not doing it over synthetic carpet, using static bracelets etc, discharging etc.
This rarely seems to be mentioned anymore in repair videos and guides. Was this just over thought as a problem or is this still a serious issue to worry about?
I asked an Electronics Engineer and they said in practice there’s usually no issue.
May have been more commonly an issue of the past.
It’s worth noting that dealing with raw components and smaller ratings will carry more risk than dealing with integrated components or raw components of higher ratings.
