I'm building a PSOneP

Tape a wire to your arm and connect it to the ground of a battery! Will always work...

No it wont. That will complete a circuit and shock you. DO NOT DO IT. A static bracelet has a 1mohm resister too keep ypu from dying

I read that people trying to make a n64p are always having trouble because they are frying their n64s... is the static bracelet a unknown tool that is very effective that will help those people who keep frying their stuff? Or does it just prevent you from getting shocked?

It keeps you constantly grounded, so no static can build up, meaning you wont fry anything.
And jack, I know a battery does work like that, but Im not sure if theres enough power to kill you... Maybe if you dealing with a big battery but still...

Thanks for letting me know!

But isn't there some other way of frying your machince? Like wrong wiring, or having a ineffective resistor.

I know but it will defenatly kill your n64. Buyt if you were woring on a DCp or a PS2p and touched the + from AC you would have a cicuit only taking off the wire would break. Deadly

yeah, but static electricity is one of the most avoidable ways of doing it, it's not the only way.

Static electricity. The number one cause of preventable portable deaths.

Remeber how GungFu13 said he had to go to the hospital for 2 months because his PSONE shocked him

[gannon]

yeah, although 110V AC does hurt, it won't kill you (often )

Yes, it does hurt. I was putting a faceplate on a switch and the screwdriver slipped... Ow.

When i was younger and messing with a plug, i got zapped with 230 volts straight from the back of a plug..

Hurt like a female of the dog species and made my arm numb for ages.

I could feel it tensing my whole arm up.

at my friend T.y.'s (the loser in the ttn pic in my signature =P) house we were rearranging our office (yes, we have an office, we make websites for money {www.motivostudios.com} is our business site) and i was unplugging something from a plugged-in power bar and he bumped into me and i touched the half-way-in plug... good thing i was holding it so the sudden surge made me drop the power bar... it didnt hurt but it made me shake for a few minutes afterwards lol =P

[JackFrost22]

Okay but this is really about building a psone

Don't know if this thread is still running, but if you can't order a certain part online yourself, have RS order it for you and have it shipped to the store. They're usually pretty cool 'bout stuff like that. Good luck with the project!
