    Hi,

    I am having SXPS 1640.

    During charging, If I touch corners and near touchpad, I can feel electric charge. Sometimes it is very strong on corners, and sometime it is very light.

    Yesterday, my hands were little wet and when I touch corner, it was just very very strong!

    I am using 3 pin adapter.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Contact Dell this is not normal and could be very dangerous.

    Good news back in the day there was said problem with M1330 /M1530 same thing your having but with user who had the 2 pin power brick (US)
    Get them to do a insulation test once replacement have been carried out on your unit.
