I thought anti-static straps were overkill for phone repairs, but one dead chip proved me wrong.

Tbh, I started wearing the strap every time, and I haven't fried a board since.

Tell me about it... I learned that lesson with an expensive graphics card. That little strap is just cheap insurance now.

Wait, static killed a phone chip? That's crazy. @beth_bell frying a whole graphics card is next level, I'd be so annoyed. Yeah, just strap up every time.

One dead chip could just be bad luck, not a rule.
