got my first capacitor shock today...from a camera! i took the batteries (two "AA"s, 1.5v each) out of a little digital camera and unscrewed the case to see if i could fix the lens which appeared to have jammed....so i was handling the naked guts, and i guess my finger planted a bit to firmly on a copper ground....POW it got me and i dropped the camera- i forgot all about the flash feature! i eventually dug out the cap and it was a 300v 110uF cap. left a tiny pinhole burn on my finger too.
just thought it was amusing. be careful out there folks....they can get you anywhere!
