Blackbook shock

[jlmillstein]

I bring my black macbook to school with me every day in a proper sized incase sleeve. I have had a macbook for a year, but just got a replacement and upgraded to black. Now every time i take it out of the case at the end of the day i get a small shock. It is in no way painful but i worry it could be detrimental to the computer. any insight?
Edit: this is before i plug it in to a power supply or even turn it on. Just the action of pulling the closed, completely powered off laptop out of the bag. it is not sleeping. it is OFF

No Clue

Maybe your old white one is shocking you from the grave.....

Does the sleeve generate any static electricity? That was the first thing that came to my mind. Other than that it could be a faulty power supply.

this could be related, maybe not -- but whenever you scuff your feet on carpet (even a little) touching metal will give a little shock.
