How to discharge a capacitor on a circuit board
Use a jumper wire with alligator clips on both ends. This may be dangerous if the voltage is very high and the capacitance is large say 1Mfd and a large spark is anticipated. If a circuit board I anticipate voltages less than 12 volts and you can hook one end of the alligator clip one side of the capacitor and the second alligator clip to the remaining terminal of the capacitor. Expect a spark to discharge when you short the capacitor.
