Hello, I'm thinking of repairing my microwave but I've gotten a lot of advice that its unwise. I know HV capacitors can store lethal amounts of energy but what would happen if you were to touch it accidentally with the microwave running vs off?

Hi all,

Thoughts please :)

Hi, Sorry to bother you all. Last year I visited a 4 star hotel (part of a chain) and found a shaver socket in Zone 1. It was to the left of the sink but directly above the bath. I could definitely see a risk for a small child standing in the bath.
I emailed the hotel to warn them and they said...
