Where do you live? I have never even gotten a mild shock off of anything from Apple. Maybe call Apple, or call an electrician?

How to properly ground a MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro 4.1. In the past - from time to time - you could feel a bit of electricity close to the aluminium case when working in AC mode, but now things are getting worse. I can feel the

Some people dont notice it. But all my MacBook pros over the years have done it. Lived in multiple homes in CA and FL.

Neat, thanks. Ordered.

Satechi just sent me a USPS tracking number.

This pre-order is now beating my Dune Pro pc case by several years.

Works OK.

If it burns my house down, I'll update the thread.

Very nice looking PD charger. If only they used 3 prong (grounded) it would be instabuy for me.

Cheap China S*** ??

I have Klipsch computer speakers, and the 3.5mm plugs don't fit well into the 3.5mm jacks! How hard is it to get the plugs to fit in the jacks AT THE FACTORY? If anything moved on my desk, the speakers snapped and popped because the damned plugs were loose in the jacks. And this was from Klipsch! One of, if not THE most respected and expensive speaker brands when I was growing up. I was disappointed and humiliated at being taken advantage of and thinking that they would keep their focus on quality. These speakers were supposedly 'THX Compatible' too. THX? I was suckered into buying them thinking they would be the best speakers I owned.

I also, foolishly, did not open the box until after the return period had expired. I thought, at the time, how could that go wrong? It's 'Klipsch'! Bose speakers were much higher quality, and the JBL 'Sticks' set I bought are far better than the more expensive Klipsch things. I finally stopped using them, and they are in a box *somewhere* in the garage. I'm sure they made a lot of profit off those speakers, and also likely didn't know how bad they were.

It's 'Klipsch'!

Sadly Klipsch was bought by Audiovox over a decade ago. Reminiscent of “Fisher” audio equipment of my youth; it was once a leader in the industry but sold to Emerson in 1975 and became a discount brand.
