new laptop gibing me shocks

Fungums

Hi,
Hope this is the right place to post.
I bought a HP laptop yesterday. I was using it last night while it was pluged in and when I touched the bottom I got an electric shock. This happened twice. Just wondering if this is normal or if I should return it?
Thanks

Alot of people will say it's not normal, etc...but try this.

I used to get lots of shocks from my laptop. I tend to sit on the sofa with it, sometimes wrapped in a fluffy gown. I started tapping a piece of wood periodically. (to ground any build up of static electricity from me.)
= no more shocks

Try it. if you're still getting shocks return asap.

There are chances you will get shocks if your house is not properly grounded, or if your laptop comes with a 2 pin power plug instead of 3 pin. but majority of the cases are static electricity build ups. I tried the wood tapping method and tell you what it works thanks looking_around
