    • Put grounding strap on one of your wrists and attach the other end to a large metal object (recommended method).

    • If you don't have a grounding strap an alternative approach is to touch a metal object that is either large or connected to the earth. Then avoid doing things that would accumulate static electricity on your body.

    • Touching the internals of your device while you aren't grounded could destroy your laptop.
