Feel static on my laptop after getting new charger

That's frustrating! Static electricity on your laptop after getting a new charger can be caused by a few reasons. Let's troubleshoot together to identify the possible causes and find a solution:

  1. Static electricity from the charger: It's possible that the new charger is generating static electricity, which is then being transferred to your laptop. Try grounding yourself by touching a metal object or a grounded surface before handling the charger or laptop.
  2. Dirty or damaged charger: Dirt, dust, or moisture on the charger's connectors or internal components can cause static electricity. Inspect the charger's connectors and clean them gently with a soft cloth and water. If the issue persists, try replacing the charger.
  3. Laptop's internal components: Static electricity can also be generated within the laptop's internal components, such as the motherboard or hard drive. This is more likely to occur if you've recently opened the laptop or handled internal components.
  4. Humidity and temperature: Changes in humidity and temperature can affect the laptop's internal components, causing static electricity. Try keeping your laptop in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
  5. Laptop's power management: Some laptops have power management features that can cause static electricity. Check your laptop's power settings to see if there's an option to disable or adjust the power management.

To reduce static electricity on your laptop:

  1. Use an anti-static wrist strap: An anti-static wrist strap can help discharge static electricity from your body before handling the laptop or charger.
  2. Ground yourself: Touch a metal object or a grounded surface before handling the laptop or charger to discharge static electricity.
  3. Use a static-reducing bag: Store your laptop and charger in a static-reducing bag or wrap them in a static-reducing cloth to minimize static electricity.
  4. Clean the laptop's exterior: Regularly clean the laptop's exterior with a soft cloth and water to reduce the buildup of static electricity.
  5. Update your laptop's drivers: Ensure your laptop's drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers can cause issues with power management and static electricity.

If the issue persists, you may want to consider consulting the manufacturer's support resources or visiting a authorized service center for further assistance.
