Do magnets have any influence on electronics?



They might make compass crazy in your smartphone. Also they cause funny pictures on tube displays. Other than that - I don't think it will have any influence.


Another place that magnets might affect is some high-end keyboard switches that use reed switches internally. But anybody affected already knows that his keyboard has these switches.
