QUOTE(lemonnoob @ Dec 5 2021, 08:59 PM) found out that the original plug don't have ground contact which causing this issues, if I ignore this zap will this issues cause damage to Mac mini after long term usage?? Probably nothing. Its just unpleasant to be shocked every time you touch it Maybe might damage some plug and play stuff Just attach a copper cable on the mac mini body and attach the other end to the earth pin of a 3-pin plug |
