Compaq Presario Series Maintenance and Service Guide United States December 9, 2002 Before You Begin Removal Sequence Product Description Presario 305 Model Specifications Troubleshooting Pin Assignments Parts Catalog Battery Operations Index Removal and Replacement Procedures Electrostatic Discharge A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not be affected at all and will work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Although, it may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions. Generating Static The table shows how different activities generate static electricity and at different electrostatic voltage levels.
