Electrostatic damage to comp. from TV?

[chips2481]

I have a laptop that I am planning on using as soon as I replace the screen and get a new lcd for it. I have had it sitting on top of my tv for some time now, about 3 months and I just thought recently that maybe having it on top of it could cause some damage from any electrostatic charges. Would the tv generate energy to fry any components on a laptop if it is sitting right on top of it?

it should be ok unless you took the covers off and then left it on top of the pc, leaving components exposed

only one way to find out really

alright so if it is in its case it should be protected. Thanks

i reckon it'll be ok, i don't think that static is transferred into the tv casing, just on the glass screen

Yea after somethinking I don't think that would be a problem. Remember CRT monitors? Never heard of a computer frying from being to close to one of them!

i have a crt monitor and my speakers, webcam, lamp and ipod are all ok so i reckon your laptop will be fin :grinthumb
