I got the impression that the OP was "streaming" the thought. I suspect it meant that before working on computer internals, pay attention to operator grounding. My experience was that older edge connectors were subject to oxidation. Removing the device and rubbing the edge pins with a "genuine" rubber erase, which contains an abrasive (compare with the eraser that removes polymer lead marks), would scrub off the oxidation. Problem is that used aggressively it tended to wear right through the electrical coating on the pins.
