• A little electric shock when I touch my case

[QUOTE=BrQ;18513871]I just changed the socket to something what they call an earthed socket. Now I noticed something, when I touch my case, nothing happens. When I touch my case (with my hands) AND I am touching a metal object, I do get a little shock.[/QUOTE] If you're still getting shocked, it means that somewhere the neutral wire is switched with the ground wire. Depending on where it is, it may be impossible to fix without tearing out the walls. It could also be in the breaker box, which only an electrician should attempt to service. What you can do is pull the nearby plugs out of the wall and check if they have neutral switched with ground. You also should check nearby light switches and if possible the ceiling lights too. [QUOTE=Maccabee;18515801]Ok, that is a sign of improvement. that means that the voltage in the metal object may be different than that of the computer. If you are touching the object and get a shock many times in a row that is a cause for concern cause it means there is voltage charging in one of the things. wether it be static on you, the computer, or the object, but as long as you dont touch the inside of your computer, you cant harm it.[/QUOTE] Did you even read the thread?
