Not so funny...
I have a new MacBookPro, the keyboard shocks me lightly (tingling) all the time when I am plugged in (i.e. when its charging) - very annoying. So I did a few tests -
a. the MacBookPro charger only has two prongs - so its not grounded. This makes nonsense of posts related to grounding for this computer (and I assume all Apple notebooks).
b. to make double sure, I tested the notebook charger in several outlets - same problem.
Thus, its not an AC earthing/wiring problem.
c. when the charger is pulled out and it runs on batteries its fine. Immediately.
Thus, its seemingly not a static electricity issue per se.
When the notebook is earthed and linking in a voltmeter the charge is +.15 to +3.5V DC...(i.e. earth is one terminal and the keypad the other).
So somewhere there's a leak between the charger/batteries and the body...
Any ideas what that may be?
