shock from laptop while in the bath

[davidgreene]

just been in the bath and been getting shocks from the case of my laptop onto my wrist, didnt happen to my fingers though, just got out now, unplugged it tried touching it and no shock...

 

[chivers67]

you're in the bath using a laptop?

Go back in to the bath and try drying your hair with an electric hair-dryer, see what that does?

 

[Alarm]

Use the electric razor in the bath and drop it.
Then come back and tell us if that tingled?

















I also take no responsibility for the results of the above mentioned actions.

Got to be a wind up! No one would be daft enough to use any item plugged into mains while in the bath. Would they?

Shows isolation transformer, but I have found many items which one would expect to show the symbol in fact don't show it. Including many laptop power supplies and phone chargers.

 

[chivers67]

not sure Eric

 

[davidgreene]

cause it aint a wind up, its low voltage and shouldnt be giving shocks in any event should it?

 

[martinxxxxxx]

Do you know the bit about it being dangerous, oh and have you seen what happens to a laptop battery if it gets shorted out. I would not like to be sharing a bath with it that is all I can say

low voltage! do you know what low voltage is?

 

[davidgreene]

its sat on the linen basket outside bath so wouldn't have dropped, wasnt suspended above it, that would be daft yes

 

[davidgreene]

low voltage! do you know what low voltage is?

yes i do, in definition, and i would say personally anything i came across lower than 110 as low voltage, like a 15v charger

You might want to go back and check the definition of LOW VOLTAGE then.

As before you know F@@K all about electrics.
