DSC-S75 (serv.man4) - Sony Digital Camera Service Manual (repair manual). Page 5

The charging capacitor of the FLASH unit is charged up to the
maximum 300 V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
battery is handled by hand.  The electric shock is caused by the
charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the main
power of the DSC-S75 is simply turned off.  Therefore, the re-
maining voltage must be discharged as described below.

To preparing the short jig. a small clip is attached to each end of a
resistor of 1 k

Ω

 /1 W (1-215-869-11).

Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to pre-
vent electrical shock.

Wrap insulating tape.

Short-circuit between the positive and the negative terminals of
charged capacitor with the short jig about 10 seconds.

Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of
bent at the terminal.
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.

When remove a connector, don’t pull at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.

Cut and remove the part of gilt 
which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some pieces of
gilt may be left inside) 

When installing a connector, don’t press down at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.
