Anti Static
Can I replace a laptop hard drive with out an anti-static wrist band?
I'm trying to replace a Mac hard drive, and the new HD was missing an anti-static wrist band to protect the computer from an electrostatic discharge. Will I be ok if I use rubber gloves or something?
No do not use rubber gloves. Don't you remember the science experiment from elementary school where you rub a balloon on you hair and it sticks to the wall through a static charge? Use bare hands.
All you need to do is to keep any finger on any metal surface in the laptop while you pull the drive out.
It's that simple and you will be grounded better than a ground strap.
