Done wrong you need to add to the repair cost of a trip to the hospital or even a funeral.

Invariably, on TOTV, there has to be a Captain Obvious. Usually this is someone who is cautioning about a task they have never done themselves. Not only do the numerous YouTube videos tell you how to diagnose a bad capacitor but most also show you how to discharge a capacitor. In fact bad caps are so common there is an excellent chance you can replace the cap and fix the problem without diagnosis at all
Now is someone is unwilling to perform this task that's fine but to spread words of caution about something you don't understand that is something quite different.
