I've been trying to investigate the problem with the electrical currents kicked off of my DELL M4300 and stumbled on this blog. The scary part of how I even discovered how I have an electrical problem is that I"m pregnant and everytime I have the computer touching my body, my baby goes nuts. I hope I haven't harmed her anyway. I was initially freaked out that it could be the wifi, but now it appears it is definitely electrical current being kicked off..............Dell, please make it stop!! Will a 3-prong adapter really solve the problem?

A Simple Question for Dell.

How is the tingle issue resolved when the electric sockets do not have an earth connector?

It's no good having one of the magic 3 pin adapters when your electric sockets aren't earthed.

Can somebody from Dell also tell me why I don't get elctric shocks, sorry a tingle sensation from other electrical devices?

Hi, im Johan, and i've been using a Dell Inspiron 1420 for the last 2 years. Recently, i have been getting static shocks whenever i touch exposed metal parts amongst the keyboard or even when lifting the bottom of the laptop. Im using a 3-pronged plug, and i am using a USB notebook fan below my laptop, though i get the shocks even when the USB fan is unplugged. What seems to be the problem? Do i have to wear rubber slippers then? :)

Thankz for ur time!

I noticed the "tingle" the very first time I used my new Dell XPS 1530 and found it to be most uncomfortable. For months, I have refused to touch the metal part of my laptop due to this. Other than this, the Dell XPS 1530 has been the best laptop I have ever used!

Please send me the information to receive the discount on the 3-prong adapter plug; however, I do feel that for what I paid for my new laptop ($2,400+), this adapter should be provided FREE.

Thanks,

Coleen

I am using a 3 prong adapter but I can still feel the uncomfortable tingling shocks. What should I do now?

My system is an XPS M1530.

thanks,
