Discharge Power Supply Capacitors using 22 ohm 20 watt resistor (Blue Shown)


Step 2Safety

iSafety
There are many ways that you can electricute yourselfs when doing this project, so please take the following precautions building this project, and don't get shocked and get a big blister like I did.

**NEVER EVER WORK ON YOUR POWERSUPPLY WHILE IT IS PLUGED IN**
*The capacitor inside holds enough electricity to cause an extremely painful shock, so discharge these capacitor with a power resistor with resistance over 10k ohm, just bend the resistor leads to the capacitor leads on back of the circuit board and make sure you hold the resistor with a pair of pliers because they tend to get very hot.
