Since a long time I was noticing, that whenever I had to work with my laptop while it’s charging or plugged in, I felt something was different, something had changed since I plugged in my laptop. I could feel it in my fingers, my hand veins... but I was clueless for a long time.

Until I searched for this on the internet and found out this is a common thing that countless people are facing, due to incorrect grounding of their laptops. I have a 65-watt official charger, and it's a 2-pin, meaning there is no ground pin. After some research, I found that this was due to current leakage...

For about 3–4 months, I was totally clueless. Each time I worked on my laptop while it was plugged in, I felt this odd sensation in my fingers and veins, like a faint electric pulse. I kept telling myself it was all in my head, but it was hard to ignore. I could feel the difference every time I connected the charger. The laptop worked fine otherwise, so I pushed it to the back of my mind.

Then, around the fourth or fifth month, I couldn’t take it anymore and finally did some digging online. I scrolled through Reddit threads and countless forums, and there it was—a ton of people describing the exact same feeling. The common culprit? Current leakage due to poor grounding, especially with laptops using a 2-pin charger with no ground pin.

But even after this discovery, I didn’t act on it immediately. I let it go, though I remained cautious about when and where I’d plug in my laptop. Fast forward nearly two years, and my laptop battery started swelling up—“pregnant,” as people call it. I replaced the battery, feeling relieved that I’d tackled at least one problem. I even posted about the battery situation, but I still hadn’t found the courage to address the grounding issue.

A few months later, the sensation came back with a vengeance. This time, I was determined to fix it once and for all. I reached out to people on Telegram, posted on forums, and combed through even more online threads, searching for anyone who had successfully fixed this. The most common recommendation I found was to use a 3-pin adapter that could fit on top of the 2-pin plug. This adapter would supposedly reroute the current leakage and provide proper grounding.

Now, I’m just waiting for a 100% confirmation that this 3-pin adapter will solve the issue for good. If I can be sure it’s safe and effective, I'll go for it. Until then, I'm holding back but feeling optimistic, knowing a solution might be within reach.
