Hello guys. I'm looking forward to mod my PSP. PSP is a portable gaming system for those of you who don't know. I need to make its case transparent so I will have to work with inside alot. I don't want my PSP's motherboard to be staticed like what happened to my computer board. I know what the wrist band does but I don't really know how i use it. Any idea how it can be used on PSP? I see that clip thingy but I'm not sure what i do. Thank You.

First you take a dep breath and wrap that around your neck. Valcro it tight!
Then hook it to the left side of your.....

Man there should be directions in the box. However, if you can post here, I assume you can already figure out how and where to use that wrist wrap!

O and the clip thingy?
Find the "hot" on your recepticle, after you have found that, don't use the "not " but use the ground.

Best of luck.

Is your computer plugged into the wall? If so the metal PSU housing is grounded... and likewise for any metal parts of your case connected to the PSU. You can just touch the case or the PSU housing, or connect the strap to a metal piece of your comp case.

Yep, your case is a grounding source. Geek Squad guys use the case for grounding all their wristbands :).

Don't do work on carpet, or do anything that will get your charged.

Remove wrist band from case, laugh at it, walk away from it, touch the metal on the computer to get you de-charged, then work on the PSP.
