What can the 1 year warranty do about this.

hey macpeeps

So I have bought a macbook air 5 months ago, and did my apple registration online. But, after a while I have begun to notice several issued with the hardware. I have never dropped it, handled it roughly, or anything like that, but a dent appeared on the corners, and on the palm rest. Whenever I plug my charger into a safe "all-apple-complying" wall, i keep getting electrical shock/tingles on the palm rest/corners, and when i have headphones (any one) plugged in, my left side is definitely louder than the right, and i hear a buzzing sound (compared with iPhone). What should i do?

Use a grounded outlet - no tingle. For balanced sound in earphones the plug must be fullt inserted. Is it? If it is then hardware fault. Buzzing also hardware fault. The dent - if it was not there on delivery then it's manmade.

The apple adapter isn't grounded in thr us so that shouldn't matter.

It is grounded if you use the line cord.

Do a search. This has been an issue since the Ti-books. It's a grounding problem. Just add the extension cord that is wait for it grounded or simply stick the 2 part into a grounded outlet. It has even solved in some cases the buzzing through the headphone jack.

I still get a tingle when i use a grounded outlet, and my earphones are fully plugged in, i twist around all ways, and the problem still remains the same just on the mac.
this is probably some manufacturing mistake, could the apple warranty do anything about this?

The headphone jack is likely covered under warranty. The dents? Not so much.
