> Capacitors can hold charge for a long time, so no touchy. It probably wouldn’t kill you, because capacitors don’t actually store that much energy9, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t kill you, so, no touchy!
I'm recalling the time I was trying to load a "backed up" game on my original Playstation using the disc swap [0] method while the chassis was open.
Since I had the top lid off, I had to hold the disc tray closed button for it to spin up. While looking away to pick up the other disc my pinky moved and touched a capacitor and had me on the receiving end of a massive zap.
I've never touched a capacitor since, thank goodness.
I was once messing around with disassembling a digital camera, and accidentally touched the flash capacitor, which gave me a big shock, both figuratively and literally. I've also not touched anything that spicy since.
