Hi

Is the current leak a common problem for macbook charger? i tested few locations other than my house all has the current leaking (kind of like small tingle/vibration) sad.gif

The default stock charger does not have 3rd pin for grounding, i am not sure what else can i do... cry.gif

Its a common issue for all Aluminium unibody Macs... Everyone will face this issue unless you have a 3rd ground pin for your plug. Either you live with it as it doesnt really harm you or purchase 3 pin plug

Yes, happen to me since day 1 bought it. Use the other 3 pin cable (long cable), problem solved wink.gif

Stop using the short 3-pin/ 2-pin plug head and use the long extension came with the Mac you should be fine. If still have current shock issue, check your power outlet, lastly send your Mac for warranty.
