Update:
Info on static shock (electrostatic), minor electric shock, static/current noise over headphone/speaker/mic/recording on MacBook Pros/ Unibody MacBooks

If you having mild electric shock when using a power adapter on your Unibody MacBook, most likely you have grounding issue. Check if you are using the short 3-pin head. If yes, change it to the long cable that came with your mac.

Here's reason why using the short pin head cause shocks:

Many have reported using the long cable solve the issue. If you still have shocks after changing the plug, consult your technician.

If you have bought any 3rd party/ OEM charger or battery, do share your experience.

Hi, I bought used set of MBP Mid 2010, only came with laptop and charger. But he gave me only the short pin head, where to get only the long cable plug? If you do, please drop me a PM.

Thanks!
