Hi SUBMAN1

I don't use a strap either but I also have experience.

But I think your last statement was very dangerous.

To the inexperienced that could very costly.

Static damage is the most common cause of computer hardware failure
and not covered under warrenty and is easy to tell.

Our friend doesn't seemed to be all that experienced pointing out no thermal paste and doesn't know what a multimeter is or how to use it.

It's one thing if your talking to a peer and quite another to someone with
less experience who might be trying to wing it on their own.

Anywho it is probably a moot point. We'll never know if he fryed something.

I hope him the best of luck as I'm sure you all do.
