    A spark doesn't sound good.

    I have the 9 Cell battery which props the laptop up and alows for much better airflow under the laptop thus improves cooling; you could try that plus you get the benefit of longer battery life :D

    I have been zapped a couple times buy the laptop however it was only straight after I upgraded the memory - been fine since :confused:

    If you are getting a spark on the screen even infrequently I would get straight on the phone to dell for diagnosis and possible replacement of parts.
