Any electrical spark can short out a circuit board if it isn't properly grounded.

It's just like a normal computer.

The case is metal but if you open it youll see nothing of the board touches the metal. So false. Now if you touch straight on it while its plugged up and power going through then you got a good shot at frying it.
