Crazy story.
There is an electrical issue which cannot be fixed easily because it is now out of warranty. I get continuously mildly shocked most times i touch the keyboard. I still use it at home with a docked setup (external keyboard, mouse), but it is a total no-no when on-the-go. Docked, it is great -- can even connect three monitors (2 via DP and 1 via HDMI).
The electrical issue started as a mild annoyance manifesting as a slight tickle in the fingers and some vibration, but when using for many hours, my pinky started getting paralyzed and would stay that way until the weekends when I didnt use the laptop. At first I though it was my pillow, sleep posture, or something. Only later did I realize it was long term mild electrocution adding up...
I tried all the electrical re-baselines at the apple store but the next set of fixes were so expensive might as well buy a Razer, which I did...
- scrumper 9y agoThat sounds like a grounding issue. I’ve had that with various MBPs over the years; bad on some outlets, not on others.
- cameldrv 9y agoI have that on mine too. My experience is that it only happens if you use the two prong cord. If you are on a grounded outlet, the effect won't happen.
