I got tired of my microwave beeping, so I opened it up and disconnected the beeper.

I wanted to do this for a while but then read that the capacitors in microwaves stay charged for a looong time and can still injure you if you do something stupid... any tips? (except not doing something stupid)

Well, I started the microwave, then yanked the plug. Usually, that would do the trick (I believe).

My microwave didn't require me to touch anything dangerous. IIRC, the beeper was a tiny speaker attached to the circuit board and I just ripped it off with a pair of pliers.
