Took me 6 years to realize I was grounding laptops wrong
I've been doing bench repairs since 2018 and always clipped my ESD strap to the metal chassis of whatever laptop I was working on. Last week a buddy from an old shop in Austin asked why I didn't use the grounded port on the mat instead. Told him it didn't matter, then he showed me a board that got zapped through the chassis because the PSU was still half connected. Switched my setup that same day, now I clip to the mat's ground point before anything else. Anyone else make this mistake or was it just me?
