I was just wondering what your guys' most embarrassing mess-ups were when you were working on your repairs. One of mine was when I accidentally worked on a controller while it was plugged into the console, while that console was also plugged in.:oops:

Other than the accidental part, there's really nothing embarrassing about that. You certainly won't get shocked and as long as your careful you won't cause more damage. I mean, how are you sspposed to check voltages and such if it's not plugged in?

Several years ago (I was probably 14) I was working on an old Pentium computer (233Mhz, the good ol' days). I had the motherboard on a table mount and the AT PSU in the open. I just happened to touch the wrong area of the AT PSU when clicking the switch and I shocked myself quite nicely. Funny story today but it sucked back then. Really sucked.
