[Q] Power on cover when charging

[elrar2012]

Power on cover when charging,

I don't know if I use the correct words but when my TF701 is charging and I go over the cover with my fingers I feel a some tingling.
If I rotate the charger in the socket it's a bit else but still it's there.
When I use my TF101 charger I don't feel this at all.
Any else feel this and know a possible solution?

It's common on the tf700 as well as if the tablet is not fully grounded while charging.

Don't have this behavior.
But when on charger it has no ground connection.

I have this issue with my TF700 when in Europe but not when in the United States. It only happens when charging the keyboard dock. Since I use the same charger and don't have any issues with other electronic devices, I assume that it is related to a combination of the voltage and grounding in my dock.

Got my TF701 today and its the same.

some details

Here's what I have noticed so far:

Infos:
- The TF101 was shipped with a different charger. On that one I have a set of plugs to match different sockets (sort of a travel adapter).
- I live in Switzerland, ungrounded connectors look a bit like this <- -> and can be used rotated. Connectors with PE look more like this <-.->, and cannot be rotated.
- In any test I used the docking, and tried with two identical power supplies

- The TF101 charger showed this effect from day one, but only in one orientation. Use it the other way round, problem gone.
- The TF30x charger shows this effect, but in both charger orientations, and slightly less noticeable
- The TF701 charger shows the same effect as with the TF30x

Let's swap chargers. (The cables are different, the chargers themselves, which generally are no more than 5V/15V CV, which switch from 5V to 15V when a tablet is detected are interchangeable).

This showed the effect is clearly caused by the chargers. It's safe to say there's different circuitry inside the different charger revisions.

My conclusion: If you want to get rid of this effect, try finding one of the old international chargers and use it with your TF701 cable.
What may work: Try an isolation transformer
Also worth a try: Aftermarket chargers

I'm pretty sure this is called 'stray voltage', but not a problem.

as i can not post links, try this:
search google for 'noteboook tingle sensation', click the dell community link
also, wikipedia has an article about stray voltage (warning: technical)
