" power storage boxes "

Yeah, its kinda bullshit because they have no idea what they are writing about.

 

The point is that the PC was unplugged and the guy working on it is dead.

I read about a guy getting killed by a microwave, though it was safe to pull apart due to it being unplugged >.<

I wish you a safe and speedy recovery.

 

The title thread in the search bar is funny though.

You simply DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH a PSU's capacitor

Good luck with your recovery, and please, NEVER OPEN A PSU if you don't know what you are dealing with

well tbh if someone does choose to open one then it is probably the best place to do it anyway.

maybe this is different somehow but i di this once an was fine half an hour later or so. same situation fan made rateling noise opened it to change the fan. was just about to test if my replacement fan would work and shocked myself and triggered a fuse.  still.. put it back together after that since the psu still worked perfectly fine. mayb i got less power in my shock? idk

The capacities contain DC power, while if you just poked around a bit you much just touch the AC, before the converter. AC power is designed to be safe (I’ve touched it lots of times and it’s just a wee scare)

 

because higher end power supplies will have more DC current they will be more dangerous and will stop your heart.

I assume the capacitors store the electricity and that is the reason why my PC didn´t shut down during a very short blackout. My other electronics including my monitor did shut down but instantly went on again.

touching the yoke or LOPT wires with bare hands is sure a nice way to die

You should read warning labels, they are there for a reason.

Reading is overrated. If it were that good, someone would have made a movie about it.

According to my friend (thank god he was with me) the ambulance came and they used a defibrillator on me. I think after that I was fine but I was still passed out cold they just sent me to the hospital after that.

 

Ironic in a way, get hurt by electricity then get saved by it.

Thought the title meant to not open a PSU while in the hospital. . .

† † †

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

 

 

Cry havoc and let slip the Togs of war.  (Signature V3)

Well, opening a PSU without knowledge of how it works is a very bad idea, but doing so WHILE ITS PLUGGED IN... I guess common sense is not so common after all...

Consider this: would you try to fix a blender or a coffee machine that is still plugged into the mains? Same goes for computers, specially the PSU.

It wasn't plugged in, that's the entire basis of the thread, they're still dangerous for a period of time after being unplugged.  Perhaps you should read the cautionary tale before commenting on it lol

it was.

OP said that he started to take it apart, noticed it was still plugged in and then unplugged it, then he got zapped while it was unplugged because of the capacitor holding a charge.

Yeah, you really have to be careful when opening PSUs up.
