Aluminium case electric cons

[tns]

Hello GHers!

I got a YotS, and sometimes the case give me some "electric stream" it's not always the case, I was wondering if
it was the case of all aluminium cases,
or
is it because the YotS wasn't that greatly anodised/anodized

or is it because of something else?
how to avoid that or what are your advices?

it's not a static electricity shock

it's like I'm having continus electricity on my hand or fingers

Like a tingly feeling? I used to get that sometimes when I had my original iPhone (Al back) plugged in.

so you're saying the reason is mainly from the power supply of my computer?

I'm not really sure why exactly it happens, but yes, that would be my guess. It only happened when it was plugged in to the charger.

I think its the power draw coming from your imagination :]

no dude..

This actually does happen with usb devices that are improperly grounded.


OP, you can try spraying the inside of the case with some rubber stuff, the kind that peels off if necessary..

double check the stuff ur spraying isn't corrosive.

Did this to a buddy's YOTS who had the same problem.

Seriously, make sure that it's not the corrosive stuff.

I made the corrosive mistake once with rubber cement.. Ruined a 4600Ti...

Luckily, lifetime warrantee..

So you claimed the warrantee for your own mistake. You're a bad kitty.

Yah but, where on a keyboard with a alum case would this problem stem from? Talking specifically about his application...honestly asking.

I was 13/14 at the time.. I didn't understand ownership or warranty.. I just knew it said lifetime.. So I called them, and mailed it.

Check with a multimeter?

[ZeodoHokill]

Maybe you can disconnect the USB and see if the feeling still exist

any place that has power touching the case is usually enough..

because the case is designed to be "grounded" by touching certain parts of the keyboard..

So it's always half the loop.
