[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 925566, member: 59143"] Here's another observation. My wife and I just moved into a new apartment on the Buda side of Budapest. The building is relatively new (about 4 years) and so I figured that the wiring would be up to the latest code/spec (whatever that may be here). I just bought myself a power strip/surge protector, which I now have my MBP, external HD and small speakers plugged into(and something else I can't remember). Here's the thing. When it's JUST the MBP plugged in, it doesn't vibrate. But as soon as I plug in one of the external hard drives, there it goes again... The other thing is that before I left New York, I bought a bunch of grounded adapters which fit my plugs, so everything should be grounded, right ? I haven't noticed any side effects thankfully (not even the power brick gets that hot), so I'm hoping it stays that way. Doug [/QUOTE]
