    • The capacitors on this board can release stored electrical energy if touched.

    • Touch your capacitor discharge tool to the capacitor leads on the board to release the stored energy. If leads are inaccessible, wait until you've removed the board from the mouse body.

    the caps don’t hold a high enough voltage to hurt you though.
