Are the electronics not in a plastic casing? Is the board exposed? Wtf?
I could see this. I’ve had motherboards reboot from static affecting the USB ports. Could be a power button or similar that sends the shock straight to the board.
I’ve had my screen turning off whenever I move my seat for months and I’ve no idea how to prevent what I assume is a static event. And now my Hue stripe is similarly unreachable unless I gently touch it (discharge it?) Ye gods I fucking hate static and I’ve no idea how to prevent it or check that my computer is properly grounded.
Just wait until you learn about the nonsense that can be ground loops in audio gear. Chasing a buzz has a whole new meaning.
