Charging

I recently bought a new MacBook Pro 13" 2020. I noticed that when it is charging you feel a tingling sensation. It seems as if it has no grounding. I have seen that other people have this problem that I have, and they also say that it's a charger problem, thanks😑

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Tingling feeling while using Macbook Pro 13" (2020 Base) when it is plugged in. Hi all, i have just recently purchased the base Macbook Pro with 512gb of storage. It is plugged in while i am using it and i continuously will feel the tingling feeling. Is this normal? (I live in Singapore, and the wattage of the charger might be different as per different country) Any advice to stop the tingling feeling from occuring?

Small tactical shock in the laptop body when charging (M1 Macbook air) Is it normal to feel that sensation when plugged in to the charger? It's not even noticeable, but it's kinda weird. Whenever I plug it into the charger and when I touch the body of the laptop (right besides the trackpad) I can feel a little sensation like some kind of shock. Like some kind of a slightly vibrating buzz. I'm using the original apple 30w charger and the cable. (type A plug (2 square pins) ) I have been told that it happens because there's no ground in the charger itself. Is it okay? Or is there something to worry about?

Hi,

You'd better contact Apple support or Apple Authorized Service Provider to tell them about charger issue.
