Doubt about sparks

Hello! I bought a MX6959. While I was using it yesterday in battery, I decided to turn it on directly in electricity without turning off the laptop. This produced little sparks in the box of electricity (wall). After that, the plug of electricity suffered some risks. Everytime I connect in wall produces sparks. But untill now laptop is working normally. Is it normal? May I have to buy another cable linking adaptator to the plug? Does exist risk of burning source of laptop?

Thanks

Does it spark with every wall outlet you try? I just boght one myself at Best Buy and it works fine (sans the sparks) whenever I plug it in. I would talk to someone at Best Buy (?) and ask for a replacement unit if it does it all the time with every outlet you try.

 

Common minor electrical issue most-likely, on the part of the wall socket or powerstrip. Some adapters cause it more easily than others, nothing to be concerned about unless it becomes really bad, in which case you need an electrition if its a wallsocket, or to replace and throw out the current power strip.(to avoid a significant fire hazard)

Long as its just a lil sparking though, it shouldn't be anything dangerous. Quite a few wall sockets have the minor form of this problem, usually due to a small amount of oxidized material on the socket contacts or plug contacts, nothing you want to mess with.

If it happens with ALL sockets you use it in, thats strange, if so you should do some googling, because... that would be rather strange.
