Wow, I can't believe this. I have a Markus Ikea chair and a dual screen setup with a USB c hub connecting them all. The screen likes to turn off all of the time

Wow, I can't believe this. I have a Markus Ikea chair and a dual screen setup with a USB c hub connecting them all.
The screen likes to turn off all of the time and it drives me nuts. A good smack quickly fixes it. I never considered the chair. Mind blown with static discharge.
- Paul-Craft 4y ago> Mind blown with static discharge. You might want to look into some extra shielding for your mind. I hear having it blown by static discharge too many times can cause brain damage. ;) In all seriousness, yeah, this is crazy! IMO, IKEA should either recall and fix, modify the design of, or stop selling these chairs. ESD can seriously damage equipment, and I could easily see there being cumulative effects from something like this.
- currency 4y agoI don't think it's classical high-voltage ESD reaching the monitor; it's RFI generating enough voltage to mess with the HDMI signal. Voltages generated by RFI will be relatively low compared to direct ESD.
- mustacheemperor 4y agoI've got the exact same problem and now I'm nearly positive (ha ha) that it's being caused by my mesh-backed AmazonBasics chair. Truly one of the most personally useful posts I've ever seen on HN.
