do you always use anti-static equipment when working on your machine(s)? do you use just a wrist strap or the whole mat kit? or do you not use anything at all? Have you ever flucked something up because of it? :unsure:
(just had to order a full kit, can't get away with just the strap anymore http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/i...ilies/ermm.gif )
doesn't just touching the case work?
Apparently it's not allowed by professional standards, it ensures yourself against unnecessary damage ect http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/i...ilies/ermm.gifQuote:

It's to protect the computer from the user, anti static equipment prevents us from giving an electric discharge and messing up the circuits :unsure:
Neither I nor anyone I know has ever used those silly things.
This thread flew right over my head :blink:
I'd never even heard of such a thing before.
It's almost as if the people that make them are trying to create a false need that they can profit from. Damn Ferengii :dry:
I don`t anything and never harm any parts eather..
But Quark industries say they're essential http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/i...ies/unsure.gifQuote:

Can`t you just earth you case. :blink:
if you earthed your case and touched a circuit, wouldn't it still affect it? http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/i...lies/blink.gifQuote:

IF YOU WERE TO TOUCH YOUR CASE THEN ANY ESD YOU MIGHT HAVE WOULD GO, BUT IF YOU WERE TO TOUCH CIRCUITS INSIDE THE CASING, THEY WOULDN'T BE PROTECTED WOULD THEY? I DON'T THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO THROUGH THE ACTUAL CIRCUITS AND THEN GO AWAY http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/i...ies/unsure.gif
Fuck cap locks, not typing that again, it's spelt wrong anyway http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/i...ilies/ermm.gif
wh4T DOES AN ANTI-STATIC KIT DO THAT TAPPING THE CASE DOESNT?! THEY BOTH EVEN THE CHARGE BETWEEN PC AND USER SO A CHRGE CANT GO FROM YOU THROUGH A COMPONENT TO THE CASE TO EARTH IT
