Electrocuted by notebook???
-
I keep getting 'electrocuted' by my notebook when it's plugged into the mains when
I rest my hands on the body of the notebook. Somewhat like static and feels like pinpricks. It's really annoying. Anybody else has the same problem? What's the cause? -
Check your plugs. Maybe you didn't connect the power supply into the laptop properly. I have such problems too but after I plug it in properly, it's solved.

or it can also be a sign of loosen socket or faulty adaptor's pin......
faulty adaptor's pin is easy to see but the in-built socket may be hard to ascertain.... -
no worries my handphone also.. now and then i will get shock!

anywhere is it? -
usually it's at the hand rest ie. area next to the touch pad.that's the only part where there's any contact. It seems quite common. Nowadays I just lift my palms up 'coz the shock is really like pinpricks. If it was really static electricity, I think the notebook would have fried a long time ago.
