Hello group, About a year ago some spikes in the main power lines damaged my = microwave oven. I bought a new one and stored the damaged old one under = some books. Today, I was thinking about opening the oven "just to see = what it looks like inside". I know this things have some dangerous high = voltage capacitors on them.=20 I was thinking about connecting a 10k/47K resistor to the cap leads to = discharge it just in case it had some stored volts that may shock me. Is there any chance that the cap still has a stored charge? Are there any other precautions I should look at?
