MacBook Pro M1 vibration issue

I’ve got a MacBook Pro M1 8g ram and 512 storage but it’s vibrating when charging or connected to an external monitor. I changed the machine again but still having the same issue then I upgrade to 16g ram and 1T storage but still having the same issue. The specialist told me it’s a grounding issue so o bought a grounding adapter but it still vibrating. What is the solution for that. It’s very disappointing.

It is a curiosity two different Macs back to back show the issue—this may well be telling



I know of no known issue with the M1 MBP itself in this regard— therefore I would follow through with BobTheFisherman recommendation in an effort to trouble shoot further.


You can try a different location within your house as well, on a completely separate circuit—independent of your normal location to plug in your Mac, any change?



I would always recommend the using the grounded 3-prong plug—this seems only common sense on electronics and bit of mystery why Apple has chosen to no longer include the extension cord...


(any older mac extension with the Duck head is still fully compatible: Power Adapter Extension Cable - Apple )




please post back your success or failure along these lines.

I have not heard this as an issue prior to your post.


Now two in a row as you say "the same issue" ...(?)
