If what you meant is electric shocks, then STOP using the charger immediately. Go the the store you bought your computer from and ask for a replacement.

Hi,
Took the MacBook Pro 13" to Mapple Shop-Auth Service Centre in Mangalore.
Gave the mechine and they took it for diagnose. Later when contacted and informed the same to Apple Cust care, they inform Apple doesnt have any Auth Service Center in Mangalore.
Whom shall i trust.......????
I really feel it was a wrong step buying a Mac.
Contacted Reliance Digital, the Auth Retail guys, from whom i bought the Mac. i asked for replacement. They say, it cannot be provided and Reliance Tech will troubleshoot on it.
Can somebody help me out from this trouble.

Playing game while charging

As z2 charger comes with 1500 mah capacity (2000 mah charger works well without any issues)
playing HQ games like nova, modern combat etc while charging under 50% battery
gives warning of low battery charging source

That's normal, even if you connect the phone to a wall charger, sometimes the phone uses up more battery that it can recharge.

BB9720 Charger makes humming/creaking sound while charging

Hi,
I've purchased a new BB9720 with original Charger received in the packing.
While charging the phone on an AC electrical point, the charger makes strange humming / creaking sound.
I'm based in New Delhi India, with 220V AC supply - the electrical circuit is perfect and has no earthing or other issues.
The AC CHargers on my other devices - iPhone, iPad, Samsung phones while charging do not make such noise.
It is only BlackBerry charger that makes this noise.
Can someone from BlackBerry support please respond if this is fine.
Thanks & regards.

Does the macbook pro gives a slight electrical shock when charging?

When the Macbook Pro is charging, I can feel a little electricity in my fingertips. Unfotunately, I don't have a three prong outlet, just two. Either way, I think this was not supposed to be. Anyone can share some answers?
Thanks,
Muriel

You need to use a proper ground plug (third one), if there is a electrical short the metal case can conduct deadly electricity right into your body.
However the Mac uses low voltage DC current and the deadly stuff is all behind the power brick, but the deadly stuff can come from another means with other equipement.
What your likely feeling is the equalization of electrons between your body and the metal case, something your doing is reducing your bodyy's electrons and your MBP has spare ones so they transfer and you can feel this sometimes.
If the difference is built up enough, then you get a nice zap, that's how lightning works.

Electric shock from MacBook Pro while charging only.

I got this painfull shock as if you have been pierce by a needle to your forearms.
The shocks are actually from the screws at the side of the MacBook Pro. You can test it by the following method while the power plug are connected.
1. Extend your forearms and let it touch with the screws.
2. Use a "Test-Pen" and touch all the screws. It will lighted up !! Even the "On" button has it.
You won't get it if the MacBook Pro are running with Batteries.

Actually, the users guide does state: “The AC power
cord provides a grounded connection." (page 30) and,
“For best results, always use the AC power cord and
connect it to a grounded power outlet when one is
available.” (page 31).
The term "grounded" should be put it the simplest form of explaination so that it will be better understand for other user who might not know it.
Just a suggestion....
"The AC power cord provides a better protection if you experience uncomfortable electric tingling sensations while operating the MacBook Pro" (page 30) and , "For best protection, always use the AC power cord whenever possible." (page 31).

Can using my Macbook Air (2014 13") while charging harm by battery?

I have Macbook Air 13inch. I want to know if I can use it while charging and what's better for the battery, charging it to 100% and unplugging or using it while it's connected to the electricity? I read something that it's not good for the battery. If it's possible can you please tell me what I should do for better battery life?

You certainly can use your MBA while it is charging. There will be no adverse affect on the battery.

Is it dangerous using macbook pro while charging?

Hi,did anyone experienced any electric issue when using macbook pro unibody while charging?When I use it during the recharge process the electricity pass trough my body.I can say that because one day when I was using it (with the hands on the keyboard) my girlfriend came and touched my face moving her hands on my cheeks and I felt a weird sensation like a vibration on my face so I unplugged the power cord leaving the hands on the keyboard (with palms near the trackpad) and I didnt feel it anymore.It is known that the electric fields can cause cancer.Am I in danger?I don't think it is a good thing that electricity pass trough my body anyway.There is any way to fix this problem?(a part of not using it while connected to the wall charger).Thank you

Some people are more sensative to EMF's then others. If there is a bad connection in your house or in your computer, then you may experience this more then others.
My guess is your house may have some faulty wiring somewhere and needs to be addressed. Get an EMF detector and see if you get spikes in the area of where your plug in your computer. Or rather, call an electrician who can check for these spikes around your house. Some houses, especially older ones, will have electrical problems, but even newer ones can have these since someitmes the laborer who installed it didn't know what they were doing or didn't bother checking.
get a surge protector for your electronics, especially your computer deivces.

Electric Current Felt While Charging

Hi, I just bought my Macbook Pro from the online store about two weeks ago. Whenever my Mac is charging and I'm using it, I have to stay away from touching either side of the body (parallel to where the battery indicator light is) because I will literally feel *shocks of electricity*.
My housemate who has a Macbook Pro as well does not have this problem so the issue is not with the power sockets in the house.
Isn't this pretty dangerous and NOT supposed to happen? What could be the problem?

i think this problem affects all models, but only more evident/obvious to some ppl. I think all macbooks come with
a. magsafe adapater (the white brick with 2 pins)
b. 3 pins converter which connects directing to magsafe
c. a power cord (long wire) with 3 pins socket head
After a few days of researching, i think there are only 3 things we can do:
1. Return/exchange, depending on the policy of the store you purchased from. However, i went back to the store which i bought my 13" mbp to try on other models. Only the 17" mbp is free from the current/wave/tingly feel while charging.
2. Charge only using item "c" connected to your brick. Apparently this will provide more grounding, compared with using "a" or "a+b". many tried and it worked.
3. Apple Care asked me to try doing the following:
i. make sure your mbp and any power supply connected is off
ii. hold down "shift" + "option" + "control" + power button simultaneously for 2 secconds and release
iii. turn on power to try again
Item 3 is to reset the circuitry if you have connected ur iphone to the mbp. This may help those who feels the shock while charging the phone through mbp. It will not help those who feel current/wave on the mbp body.
And i mentioned in the beginning, this current/wave should affect all macbooks. Try charging macbook on your friend’s laps, you should be able to feel the wave through his/her body too.
Hope this post can help.

MacBook Pro Al case electrical tingling using 2-prong adaptor on charger

MacBook Pro Aluminum case electrical tingling when using 2-prong adaptor on charger
This applies to the new (late 2008) MacBook Pro with the aluminum unibody enclosure
I've seen several people report this problem, but also I've seen threads about this problem wrongly conflated with other problems. The other threads include:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=440564
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1757399
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1798538
This thread is specifically about the problem typified as follows:
- This is an electrical tingling. It is not a painful shock or zap. It is most noticeable when brushing against the aluminum surface of the Mac.
- This only occurs when plugged in using the 2-prong adaptor, not when using the 3 prong, not when running on battery (not plugged in).
- It does not always occur. It seems to happen when plugged in with the 2-prong adaptor for an extended period like overnight.
- This is not a physical vibration, and has no audible component.
- I have verified that the outlet is wired properly: correct polarity, effective grounding, correct voltage, neutral does not appear to be floating
Here is my story of trying to get this fixed so far:
1. Call #1 to Apple Support
- They told me they had never heard of this problem before
- They said I should reset the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411). This strikes me as a simple if-all-else-fails-reboot solution. Not sure how a firmware reset will affect a hardware problem
- They then said they have seen this problem before and it is caused by faulty wiring. (yes, contradicts the first statement). This too seems like a cop out. I'll have to check it out though.
2. Call #2 to Apple Support
- "It says here you are hearing some sort of vibration" (aaaaaarg....no!)
- We recommend using the 3 prong adaptor
- You should bring in the machine to an Apple store to be fixed. Yes this is a known problem and we have a solution. I made an appointment to bring it in.
- I asked for a reference for this known problem and was told "CP 191"
3. Trip to see the "genius" at the Apple Store
- The genius starts out by telling me, " Sure, I've heard of other Macs doing this. I once had an old MacBook that did this."
- He then goes in the back with the machine to "test it"
- He comes out and says he was unable to duplicate the problem. This is not a surprise since it takes hours for it to manifest.
- He then proceeds to tell me that when it is ungrounded (such as using the 3 prong), then this is expected.
I am stunned. Thereafter ensues a long conversation of him trying to convince me that it is not a defect that this laptop, when used with factory supplied 2-prong adaptor, exhibits an electrical charge shocking the user. Some of his arguments:
- it's a complicated piece of power using machinery, like a car. To which I replied that if I had a car that shocked me when I tuned the radio, I would demand it be fixed.
- I asked him for Apple documentation that states that this is the expected behavior. All he could produce was documentation recommending that 3 prong adaptor be used when possible.
- He told me that all laptops are grounded through their cases. I said fine, but a properly functioning laptop would not need to shed excess voltage such that the user can feel it.
- It's just static electricity that builds up on this case
- You can place a shield or protector over the aluminum palm rest.
He told me that since we were past the 14 day window, he could not replace the laptop. I asked if it made a difference that the ticket was opened in the first 14 days and he said no. I asked if I could get just a replacement power brick to see if that made a difference. He replied that they did not have those parts available.
After arguing for over an hour, and it being clear that I was not going to just leave, he finally brought the manager over. She asked what I wanted and I reiterated that all I wanted was for the laptop to be repaired or replaced. She agreed to replace it, but...
- Since it was bought online it would need to be sent back (could not be replaced in the store). It would take 7-10 days
- They would not assist in any way in backing up or transferring the data. We would lose everything n the drive (as it was being replaced). I could not keep the old drive and just send the computer back
- The new one might also exhibit the problem. One of geniuses volunteered that he was sure it would. (IMO, if true, this simply means that the model is defectively designed)
story to be continued.....

Unfortunately, I went through the same thing. I do believe my issue was different, though (vibration).
I received contradictory information from 4 or 5 Apple reps over the phone, the Apple retail store refused to repair/replace the machine, and I was told that I may have to pay for labour if I took it to a reseller (obviously incorrect). In the end, I just returned the **** thing and bought a Macbook in-store. With the money I saved, I'm going to build a desktop PC with twice the power.
In my opinion, the service was much worse than the defective machine. I came very close to not buying another mac...

Satellite Z830-10 - electric shock while charging

I've recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Z830-10 from PC World UK. I'm experience constant electric shock when my wrist touch the laptop body while charging with the adaptor. No problem when it is on battery.
Does anyone having similar problem?
After some research on the internet, there are some report about laptop with metallic casing when the manufacturer supply with 2 pin plug which does not have earthing.
Other company have replaced their problematic laptop with 3 pin plugs for all their customer. My adaptor is indeed with 2 pin plug.
Could the shock by lack of earthing in this case similar to Dell problem?

Hi
I would really recommend contacting the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country to check the parts and to fix this issue.
A friend of mine is an Z830 owner but as far as I know he did not experience any similar issue.

Electrification on MacBook while charging

Hi everyone, I am charging my macbook air with original 2-pin 45W magesafe. When I touch the computer I feel an electrification while charging. I tried to charge different power sockets but I felt same little shock of electricity each time and no difference when computer is turned off while charging.
Mostly the electification takes place around just above of function keys and back of screen.

there could be an extremely slim chance of a fault on the IO board, however if so, that would be the 1st case Ive heard of same.
electrostatic (dielectric) spillover to the the alloy macbook Air chassis is very rare.
Verify same on another power outlet.
verify on another charger at your local Apple store.
Verify same at a different building if you can.
Contact Apple for appt. for in shop free diagnostic,
however from your indications, the only largely plausible points of causation are power issue on the outlet/ building or on the charger block of the charger.
