Thanks for looking.

How does one discharge a capacitor when working on a PCB, so that one
does not get electrocuted? Are there any other components that
maintain a charge after turning off power source. Thank you. please
answer to .

Usually just short it with a screwdriver. CRTs can store a charge too.

You may get a big spark from a large capacitor, don't jump when it
happens, you can do as much damage to yourself from ripping a hand on
nearby sheet metal as from the actual electrical charge. I know from
experience over manyyears and a few seconds of carelessness.
