mobo out of case

7th July 2004, 14:11

When you take your mobo out of the case and place it on your desk, it needs to be properly grounded right? or is this not really that big of an issue?

nope, doing it all the time.

just make sure it doesn't make contact with metal.

oki

and how about the reset and power switch? Do you use to fire up the board or how does this work?

You can set a power up button in bios , like CTR+F1 or something like that.

I had old 2 buttons from another case so I just connected them.

Other option is connect the 2 pins with metal till your pc boots (like a switch)

Just connect the two pins with a screwdriver.

lol, they instructed us never to use magnetic screwdrivers cuz of the danger of esd but I 'd probably kill more just because of screws i'd loose if I didn't use a magnetic screwdriver
