ok so i was told that i need to be careful with my computer and that i can ground it out causing the computer to get messed up..by this i mean putting it under the carpet in my car and it touching the metal floor can cause it to ground out? or mess it up? true or false?

 

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.
