    Having been an electronics technician for a very long time I've had quite a lot of experience with static damage. The built in protections nowadays will save you 999/1000. But, what doesn't get much attention is that even though the static didn't kill it, there is the possibility of light damage that causes a microscopic hot spot and current leakage that causes infrequent instability especially in ram. It can cause random crashes that happen at given times or can cause the damage to gradually get worse until full failure.

  • @dojomojomofo
    @dojomojomofo Рік тому +9

    Amazing video, both of you, lmao...Thank you so much for putting up with all that pain.
    I've worked inside PCs since 286 and I've never even touched a disconnected ESD strap to move it out of the way. Literally never even laid hands on one. I've also never killed a device with ESD.
    My dad just taught me that when you're working on a PC, you touch the chassis (especially if it's plugged into the wall - but it shouldn't be, and so do it anyway to get on the same level!) very often, and do what you can to never touch contacts and traces on boards you're handling - just touch the edges, like old photographs. That way, you minimize your differential charge to the piece you're handling and maximize your distance to where it could arc to you. That's what we did before things were designed smartly.
    On the other hand, my Mom's TV survived a nearby lightning strike that made her home's doorknob spark(!!) Her TV died. I opened it up and there was a special gap on the board for arcing extra power. It had a black scorched blast mark across it! I replaced a blown fuse and most of the TV still worked after that. Modern electronics engineers are pretty f'n rad tbh. Much respect for that kind of foresight.

    As you said several times, the discharge can be to the ground plane, which avoids the sensitive bits. It is also possible under that circumstance that an adjacent active component is partially stressed, and that that shock can partially damage the circuit. You may not see the failure straight away, but it could manifest itself some years down the line. The only way to characterize that sort of damage is by looking at the MTBFs of the abused components. I also seem to remember some years ago where IBM or such like had an electron micrograph showing a partially vaporized metal layer within an IC highlighting this problem.

      ​@@iLumberjack It is always true.
      Think about it this way: What is bad for you kills you and what is good for you makes you stronger.
      "that which is bad for you" = "that which kills you".
      "that which is good for you" = "that which makes you stronger".
      Therefore you can remove the redundancy. You will end up with this list (!) of two concepts: That which kills you and that which makes you stronger.
      That which kills you is the opposite of that which makes you stronger, so to end up with the saying in question, you will have to negate one of the concepts:
      That which kills you does NOT make you stronger.
      Or:
      That which does NOT kill you makes you stronger.

    A discharge of electricity always takes the path of least resistance to ground. This means that if you ESD your PC, the electricity will deliberately jump from your finger to the closest grounded circuit, consequently not passing through the most sensitive components. This is what is saving your PC. It's possible that it causes damage, but likely will not. Obviously PC parts are designed this way on purpose, and having worked on many, many PCs in my time, I can say that ESD used to be a much bigger issue. Components have gotten more resilient over time and less susceptible to ESD.

    I walked across a rug one winter afternoon and plugged a USB thumb drive into an old Core2 ASUS-motherboard PC. A static shock "ticked" from the USB key to the USB port and smoke started issuing from the machine and it immediately lost video. I pulled the machine out from under the desk and yanked the power cord out of the power supply socket, but it was too late. When I opened it I noticed that the northbridge chip actually had a HOLE in the middle of it. I have also had many laptops brought into my shop dead as a doornail. Mostly CPU and support chips fried by static during the winter months, when atmospheric humidity is low and static electricity is everywhere. Static damage is real and more prevalent than most people know. Solid-state drives are particularly susceptible to static failure. When there's 8 TRILLION memory cells on a one terabyte drive, all it takes is a little static applied to the right pin and it's just a worthless piece of plastic after that.

    I always took a handful of dryer sheets and laid them nearby when working on a PC. Every time my hands left the PC to pick up another part, tool or whatever, before I would go back in to start working again I'd take those sheets and wad them around in my hands to suck up any potential ESD buildup. I did this every time my hands left the PC and were to go back in.
    Then I realized an ESD wristband costs less than $10 and stopped doing that.. but it did work fine.

    RAMs are incredibly sturdy, I had a pair of RAM slots sitting in my drawer wrapped in bubble wrap with a rubber band. I left it sticking out without noticing and my puppy got to it (probably pulled until the drawer was open enough for the package to come out) he took it to a bed and munched it for God knows how long, I wasn't home at the time. It was well packaged but he poked a hole deep enough to leave the modules exposed. Upon closer inspection I was ready to toss them out as they were a couple contacts missing on each of them. But a spark of curiosity made me test them, not only did the system POST, it did pass 4 rounds of memtest86 with no errors (maybe them having heatsinks also made them more invulnerable) but I was shocked to say the least

      @@lemau8458 Oh was this not up to your standard? Well, let me try again.
      You see, part of shared experiences includes sharing what parts you enjoy. On a platform like UA-cam, it's common for people to call out which parts they liked in comments. Comments then appear as text at the bottom of videos, which other viewers can read and then relate to (or not). Other users can even reply (hence me now writing this in reply to your reply; a re-reply as it were).
      In this case, I found it funny when Electroboom made the above quoted comment, but specifically when he said "unfortunately." You see, this was amusing because it implies that he would find it fortunate if it could be lethal. Of course, we all know that normal people don't want to have a lethal shock gun, and that's where the humor derives.
      Now, in my comment I made a subtle distinction in the quote. I put asterisks (*) around the word "unfortunately." These asterisks are used to emphasize a particular word. However, it would seem my efforts had failed as you assumed I was simply quoting the video.
      Accursed written language and it's lack of nuance! If only you could have *heard* me emphasize that word, perhaps we would not be having this discussion!
      But now you are aware of what said asterisks mean. I hope this has enriched your understanding of the nuances of UA-cam comments. Moreover, I deeply hope that this comment is more up to your standards of contributing to your day.

    I'm at the very very very beginning of this video I want to speculate here if they're going to mention the fact that ESD may not always destroy a component immediately but can dramatically reduce the lifespan of some sensitive electronics such as IC's. I worked for a pharmaceutical base robotics manufacturing plant and we did a long-term study on this very subject. All of our facilities afterwards got the floor painted with a grounding sort of paint I don't know what it's called I can't recall and we enforced wrist and ankle grounding straps stringently after that point. Service ends up costing a company a lot of money from warranty repair work and we were able to save a substantial amount of money over the long term

    I remember static wiping out four separate logic boards on my Commodore 1541 hard drive. Not a problem if you build in circuit protection on the I/O ports. Which Commodore did not ...

    Now that's entertaining! Funny how you can't break something when we try to but always so easy when you're not expecting it lol
