QUOTE(blackshirt @ Jun 8 2007, 12:29 AM) Wa? how come got electrical on the HDD? I totally have no idea  Btw, this 2nd unit I have is brand new (unopened box) when I collected it. QUOTE(karhoe @ Jun 8 2007, 12:34 AM) Report this to Microsoft, and CC to CNN, BBC, whatever news network you know. Must take some screenshot as well, then see if they will replace you a new model Will try to capture some photo tomorrow.

Hi guys, Thanks for all the feedback. Seemed like I'm not the only one having this "problem"  I've unplugged everything except the AV cable still connected to the TV, and the leakage is still there. Therefore, I can confirm that it leaked from the AV port on the TV. Tested 2 TVs also giving same problem. Btw, the TVs have 2 pin plugs instead of 3. Any suggestions? Or else gotta live with it haha

Plugged to LCD monitor using VGA cable instead of the composite cable. No more electric shock...  So can confirm the leakage came from TV's AV output. Time to buy a bigger LCD monitor  haha
