Just recently, I would occasionally press the shift/ctl key and I felt a small electric shock running through it (just a little shock, nothing bad, but you can definitely feel it enough to go wtf!). This only happens if I'm pushing hard and I think it's when I touch some part of metal.
I had some other areas on the laptop where the black plastic covering exposed some metal surface and when I touche these I get the same shock.
Also, just lately, I plugged in a line out so I could plug it into my stereo, the end of the line out has the same current running through it as I felt it when I touched the audio LR by mistake.
Any ideas what this could be?
I've covered 2 or 3 of the exposed metal bits by the CD eject button (it's always on worn areas) with tape.
I've got 2 external monitors plugged in, a cooler fan, mouse, external; hard drive.
