Just to clarify things....
If I remember correctly, voltage doesn't kill. It has to come with
considerable amperage to do that.
I used to touch a very high voltage electric fence (thousands of
volts) on the farm as a kid. I got a jolt. That's all.
The capacitor is what holds the charge some time after a TV etc is turned off.
Don't know if a capacitor holds amps.
Of course, I'd welcome some electrician straightening me out where
I'm wrong. I'm not.

And keep in mind that voltage may remain in a device for a VERY long
time after you turn it off. Navy radar and radio technicians learn
this. Same for a TV repairman. You can get a fatal jolt long
hours after the machine has been shut down.

The basic rule with high voltage is always keep one hand in your
back pocket and then turn off the power BEFORE any adjustments or measurements.
