If you believe tingle current has caused a problem on your computer, here are a few tips:
Contact a qualified electrician for help with connecting the power cord's third wire to a metallic grounded structure, such as a plumbing pipe (if allowed by the local electrical code), if you often use the notebook from the same location.
Change the AC adapter.
Increase ground isolation by placing an anti-static chair mat on the floor below the chair that you typically sit in while using the notebook.
Use a different 2-wire power outlet (not a different outlet on the same circuit). Discontinue using a power strip or relocating to a different room may help.
