The one "possible" problem with the "paper clip short trick" is possible
damage to the CMOS circuitry. CMOS circuitry is some of the most
sensitive-the slightest static electricity just from handling them can "fry"
them. Better off, if you're in a relative hurry is to discharge the
circuitry through a fairly high resistance resistor, so as to limit current
flow. Paper clip= Maximum current flow immediately~*possible* damage.
