I have a laptop that for some reason sends a small shock current when I either touch the port by accident, or touch the connectors on a cable or anything connected to it at the time (for example, ipod cable connected to USB port will shock me if i touch the ipod)
And it's not even a shock, it feels more like the current is running through to my fingers, a sort of tingling feeling.
It's very odd because it never did this before. Is this some sort of electric isolation problem? Is it something I can fix or have to send to repair somewhere?
It's a very small shock, I'm assuming because USB is only rated at 5V?
It is an HP laptop, don't have the model number off the top of my head.
