Hey guys whenever i try to charge my Ideapad Z510 laptop i am receiving mild electric shocks from metallic areas of the lap; for eg: the thin metallic strip surrounding the touchpad , the ideapad engraving ath the bottom right corner, any metallic surfaces of connected devices. I'm using a 3-ponged charger and I've tried connecting to different sockets but the problem persists.

Is that static electricity?
Or maybe your earthing is not proper

I think your house doesn't have proper earthing.
One way to avoid this is to wear a pair sandals at all times. This will break the circuit which completes when your bare feet touch the floor.

But will this harm the machine?
