    I met 220V...OUCH!!

    I just wanted to replace the PSU in my Tact since it cause tons of crackling in the sound. The PSU inside fluctuates in voltage and the DA and AD converters dont get enough juice.

    But I the idiot forgot to unplug it first and a big shaking feel encountered the left arm....Ouch....

    well i still live...

    Volts want ever kill you, its the ampage which stops your heart beating

    During a routine Xbox modification i to forgot that the capacitators still carry charge for sometimes upto a few hours after being unplugged. Got a nasty shock off that too, and my hand tingled for a couple of minutes - but i guess thats just my nerves wondering what the hell they did wrong

    Live and learn, i bet next time you do anything similar you double check it out of habit

    I electrocuted myself with an old amp a while back... Felt my whole arm buzzing but it didn't hurt or anything. Can't have been a very high amperage. Lol

    My dad used to work on the London Underground as a driver, he once saw someone jump onto the tracks, he said it was not a good sight. Be careful around electricity people.
