I'm replacing the RF amp MOSFET in a TV and want to doublecheck the procedure
for soldering these things.  Besides the obvious heatsinking, I'm curious
about the static problem.  I know about using a grounded soldering iron, but
should I also ground the TV chassis?  Could there could be a static 
potential between "earth" ground and TV ground???

Should I also be standing on a static-shorting mat?  etc??
Thanks.
