While dabbling in the realm of youtube, I came across this video. I usually see people talking about what happens if you solder caps wrong, or this or that backwards, or wrong mf rated components, etc.

So for anyone who wants to know the worst that can happen if you try to fix your own PCB's look at this quick link, it's actually entertaining. Here is what your fears of the unknown would look like, not so bad actually.

Friend of mine was wiring in one of those big can caps in a circuit (non arcade related), don't know if he shorted something or had it hooked up wrong, but the thing popped and sounded almost like a gun going off. Scared the crap out of us ;)
