I agree about turned off, but not unplugged. It's true that there is
sometimes some low voltage on some mother boards when the power switch is
turned off, but it is also true that the case is NOT grounded any longer
when the power cable is unplugged. Of course you could make a special power
cord with the flat progrongs removed but not the round ground prong. That
wuould ground the case without applying power. I just take care when I work
on the machine with the power cable plugged in, power on or off.

Read my other post I said leave the powercord in, and the difference between
our power system. In the UK u can remove the fuse in the plug that will
break the circuit, but will enable the case to be earthed. Otherwise, eg for
example in the USA, you only connect the earth to the supply.
I think Debbie said switch off and unplug.
But I did say to the person with the Toshiba notebook to unplug it because,
I thought he wanted to partly dismantle it, and in any case I have never seen
anyone recommend attaching it to a power supply to carry out maintenance.
