Unervoltage - also known as a brownout - does not damage electronics.
Unfortunately too many take what they learned about motors and
expolate that to knowledge about electronics. One must first learn
basic concept before making assumptions such as low voltage will
damage a computer.



Undervoltage most certainly *can* damage electronics, some poorly designed
SMPS's will attempt to compensate for the low line voltage and blow
themselves up. Properly designed equipment won't do this, but there's a
great deal of poorly designed junk on the market these days.
