    Just a quick post swapped out my gigabyte aero 15 OLED sa models wireless card yesterday while working inside the computer I accidentally dropped the screw that secures the wireless card right next to the mounting bracket when I went to grab the screw with my tweezers I got a small spark twice before I got the screw backd because i did not think about the battery still being in and use my metal tweezers that were handy instead of going and getting the plastic ones it seems like it was just conducting through the screw from whatever it was touching on the motherboard but I was curious about to ESD protection on these I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary computer booted fine and I played starcraft 2 on ultra the kind of stress test it after I got everything put back together I know that newer computers are less susceptible to ESD but I was curious if you think I might have damaged something or if you have any thoughts on what I should check if anything as far as I can tell everything's up to par and working correctly starcraft ran just fine am I intelligent dream tuning utility still gave me over 2,000 on the xtu score undervolted at 0.155 even ran a 10 minutes stress test on the CPU and memory everything shows to be working it's probably just my OCD and I'm super paranoid about stuff like that any thoughts or suggestions? Do you think I damaged anything with the small sparks.

    I've had this sort of thing happen twice (because I'm stupid), but in both situations everything was fine. Id say if everything seems to be going fine, then it probably is.
