I'm trying to clean an old flash and I need to open it up. These things have capacitors.

I fired the flash after I had removed the batteries. Does this mean the capacitor is fully discharged now? Can I even do this safely without waiting weeks for it to discharge naturally and without buying resistors?

Pic related, it's the flash.

It is most likely discharged, yes.
Just touch a screwdriver across the two capacitor leads.
I've shocked myself off of one before, and somebody else on purpose. It's no big deal, you'll be fine.

It wont be 100% discharged, just short the cap out, use a resistor or grow some balls

Flash caps dont 100% discharge, but i wouldnt worry. A fully charged flash cap might knock you on your ass but it's nothing to write home about.
