Of course you won't, the shock isn't even string enough for you to pull away. It's like bad puns and needles. Had a dodgy USB port that always shocked me if I plugged something in.

Nasty pins and needles? Don't want

Guess it'll be staying plugged in FOREVER.

You need to broadcast this live with a webcam.

Watched this for the first time the other day!

5v isnt enough to kill you. I've been shocked by 240 and lived!

Amnesia · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:12

well you could switch the laptop off and remove the battery but then you might not die and i really want you to die!

No, warp it in insulation tape once it's out and carry on using it tbh .

Just turn it off.
And
A) only whilst being shocked
B) you have to make a circuit which is easy to avoid, hold it on the side or just wrap a sock, tissue or anything else round.

Really how do some people get through a normall day.

Stick it up your bum, then reverse back into the USB port and find out

?

Only if you eat it.

If your that concerned, power down your PC and then remove it.

But as stated, it isn't going kill you.

Overclockers UK, a reliable source of (mis)information!

You guys never disappoint!

That pendrive must be using mains 220v power. Touch it and death shall follow.

Absolutely nothing will happen. My 16GB USB stick I use in my car glovebox for music is just a bare PCB with a USB jack attached.

It's amazing the amount of people here who think the voltage will kill you when in fact it's the current. Just so you know a static shock from a carpet can be a couple of thousand volts, it just has very little in the way of current.

I think it's anything above .1A can be lethal.

put a condom on it before you insert it next time.

Used to have a wireless USB network thingy before, cover came off as well. I used and touched it regularly with no problems at all.

Just pull it out. Nothing will happen.

But just for arguments sake, pull it out with your mouth/teeth.

(For the above - please setup a webcam so we can all see? )
