What computer components should you not touch while wearing antistatic wrist strap?

I'm not aware of any component you cannot touch. As long as the power is off and you are grounded properly. You would have to touch any component part in order to replace or upgrade it. When using a Antistatic wrist strap you should always male sure it makes contact your skin properly, if the strap has a crocodile clip at the end make sure it is attached to a suitable grounding point. You can clip it to the PC chassis but make sure the power is off at the wall socket but the plug is left inserted, if you unplug the PC completely there is no grounding. Saying all this grounding yourself is a bit over rated. I rarely use a grounding wrist strap and have never had an incident.

Why should you not wear an antistatic wrist strap to repair power supply?

The problem here is that you may encounter high voltages in the power supply. So wearing an antistatic wrist strap may put you at a greater risk of electric shock. Besides, there are few if any sensitive electronic components inside the power supply unit.In addition, make sure the power supply is not connected to any power before servicing it. If you need to go near any large capacitors, you will want to discharge them. In fact that is a good precaution to take any time you remove the circuit board from the power supply unit.
