I need to install memory in my new netbook. I bought an antistatic wrist wrap, but what on earth should I clip it to? The netbook is plastic. Any thoughts?
Good question. I have to do the same thing with my laptop.
What I usually do is sit down at a table with everything at hand so I'm not doing anything to generate static while I'm working. Then I handle the computer, open it up and touch anything metal inside to dissipate any static, then do the memory replacement.
I've handled chips that way for years and never zapped anything.
