Well i just realized this and was wondering if it happens to anyone else... well i connected my hdtv red green blue and audio into my tv and realized that the 360 end wasn't connected so i picked it up.. and it shockedd mee! then i plugged it in.. and when i touch the metal part of my 360 HDD it shocked me too!

anyone else getting shocked like this? its an elite btw...

You have grounding problem. Get a test pen and touch any component connected (Astro, dvd player, etc.). If it lights up then better call the electrician. This if left unattended might lead to a more serious problem.

i touch my tv, dvd palyer, the astro, the fan, the lights everything
shocked me. i just live with it hahahaha

Well lucky you...a friend of mine had some of his appliances fried due to grounding problem.

I just got shocked once while trying to setup my 360. I realized that i step on some wet patch, dats why.

check ur xtension cable...

wow!!!

dangerous man!!
those thing can burn ur place down or worse kill you..

I touched with my finger once a cable and my elbow went straight for the wall...

I remember the pain...

grounding problem. just pull a normal wire, 1 end connect to the 3pin socket earth, the other end connect to any metal surface of your astro,amp or dvd player. that should do it. if i not mistaken, all of your av equipment uses only two pin type of connection

that's called an electric shock...

they hurt i feel your pain

i'd suggest that you do proper grounding.. especially for AV equipments.. they are sensitive equipments. Without grounding, and if there's a leak, your equipments might go up in flames.

Lots of shocking news today. Shocking, Never seen so many shocks in one shocking thread before. Shocking.

Pfft!! I thought what so shocking la...haih..i tot x360 price drop below RM 1000 oredi....LOL

of metal / aluminum ring around it. every time i wana

Btw Elite power brick doesnt have ground (I guess) just 2 'legs'

same thing happened to me.. especially the hdd part where the chrome is.. bzzt bzzt.. never happened to me before in kl tho.. only when i come back to my hometown maybe it's the tv

dude
there is no ground cable on ur tv
almost every tv in malaysia using 2-pin plug
and guest wat


all the connector that connect to ur tv using metal plate as joiner
so tv is mainly the cause that give u all shock since there is no ground on ur tv..the electric current will flow to the device that is connect thru ur tv..


how to prevend
make 1 ground cable...
from tv to any device that connect to ur tv
