RE: With all due respect...

Most caps will survive being shorted, but discharging p/s caps is so easy, why do it? I made up a discharge tool that's easy: a 100Ω 10W resistor with leads on both ends; 1 end has a probe and the other has an alligator clip. Clip to the chassis and use the probe on each cap for a few seconds and it's all done. Or use the method at the link.
