So I decided to investigate why sometimes, i get a tingling sensation by touching some of consumer devices that are SMPS powered.
I noticed that some devices like my sony tv, lacks ground pin (a bad design decision) and thus manage to give me electric shock when I touch the metal plug shelding of hdmi cable or insert a metallic body usb drive. ( it didnt used to do that when I bought it)
Similarly when I use my laptop on sockets without grounding, it gives me tingling sensation.
My cousin has a gaming computer,full metal chassis, all of it gave you shock making it a torture to use,until he got his house electricity grounded.
I thought to myself,how could it be that these reputable companies (sony,lenovo,corsair) can design such stuff?
all of these devices seems to be leaking out 70-80 volts in referance to earth, and giving out 3-4 microamps
what could be the reason?
unfortunatly the warrienty is intact,otherwise I would have done a teardown
