electric shock

Hello! I was wondering what would happen if you spilled water on your mac, then it was still connected (charge) would you get electrocuted?

It is doubtful, because the charger converts AC House current running continuous. You could get a shock, but it is not likely to be dangerous, unless you have some sort of pre-existing condition. You would most likely fried the circuit in the machine, however.

  • Electric shocks of Notebook

    I have a Notebook G71-35OUS and for the last week it has been it sends me electric shocks when touching the top and bottom.  How can I stop this and is it safe?

    Jenny,

    Do you also feel the current thrill to your neighbor's House?  Or at work, etc.  It could be an electrical problem with the wiring in the House or the surge protector.  It could be a problem with the AC adapter.

    The good news is that current tingle is not harmful to you or your PC.  You should try the steps at this link as well.  Some people are more sensitive than others to the thrill.  Everyone around you feel the current?

  • My iPhone 5 s gave me a bad electric shock during loading

    I just bought an iPhone refurbished, 5 s.  After recharging, I started the installation process.  The next time that I loaded, I had a terrible shock when I hit the phone.  It happened to be sitting right next to my MacBook Pro at the time, but I dunno if that was related to the problem.  It seemed that the entire phone was alive with electricity and it was pretty scary.  I unplugged it immediately and everything was ok.  It didn't happen the next time I loaded, but I kept it away from my MacBook Pro.  I googled the problem and items found on people getting some pretty bad shocks to iPhone, but that we found items "Apple leans on it."  I never heard if Apple found nothing.  This phone is safe?

    Been using the iPhone for the 3GS - never had this happen - FWIW

  • Touchpad and some keys not working do not due to static electric shock

    This is an unusual problem - maybe someone can shed some light on this, and (especially) thoughts towards fixing the problem would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Yesterday, I got my ACER Aspire 1830 t series netbook (Windows 7, 32-bit) and a little shock to receive static electricity - nothing major, exactly as happens when you touch anything with metal (especially in winter?), right. However, it has caused a few problems:

    1. first of all it has caused my netbook to a hard cock down.

    2. once I rebooted the system, the touchpad did not work.

    To restore functionality to the touchpad, I tried the following until now:

    • FN + F7 (toggle to turn on/off the touchpad) - IS NOT WORKING.
    • Reboot - IT DID NOT WORK.
    • Use a wireless mouse - Fortunately, IT works.

    3. I was about to try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad when I noticed that some other normal keys have lost a few perfect. For example, I can no longer hold the BACKSPACE key or the arrow keys to a continuous function - they only move a space at a time, so I have to stay here by tapping it again and again.

    So far, I are not noticed a problem of corrupted files or programs, so maybe that's more a hardware problem than a problem of driver/software.  Is it possible for static electricity incinerate a wire or something?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. This baby is only a few months out of warranty...

    Thank you very much!

    Try to unplug the power, remove the power battery button and press on for 20-30 seconds, it stays for a while and try to turn it back on, I'm not sure if it will solve but worth it.
