[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 996939, member: 56379"] First you need to get a new battery.;) Second...I know nothing about your home's wiring...or the electrical codes in your area/country. Since you used the term, "plugged in to the mains"...you're probably in the UK or at least outside the U.S. You may live in an older home...with old electrical wiring...thus if your electrical outlets in your home are not properly grounded...then this sort of thing (getting little shocks from the metal of your laptop)...can happen. If this is the case...you could try going to a friends newer home, new office building, or a local shopping center that probably has much newer wiring...plug in your laptop, and see if you still get these little shocks. Hope this makes sense & helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
