Hi all,

I experienced mild electric shock when touching metal parts of my PC and printer.

Is it due to bad grounding, or other cause.

Anyway , I would like to know how to check for good grounding using analog multimeter.

Thank you

Genie

If you have a carpeted room you may feel the same shcok no matter what you touch. ESD can be found anywhere, now if you actualy can measure it then that is another story PC usualy are metal but printer are plastic skleton so i think this is nothing but ESD. Both are not insulated very well don't have a tranformer on the line. try to measure DC and AC and if you do have a real sustainable voltage then you have real problem try reversing the AC PLUG
