Electric Shock From Laptop

I just restarted my laptop and on logging in with the fingerprint reader I got a shock, admittedly only a small one but still it seems odd.
It's still the same now when I touch it,
What's going on?:o

You're not standing in a bucket of water are you?

Ha Ha no I'm not but you did make me think to check my feet, seems my socks are not thick enough for my ice cold tiled floor, I tried fingerprint reader while lifting feet up and no shock!

I'll go put my slippers on:rotfl:

Its probably not a shock its probably taking a blood sample to make sure someone hasn't copied your fingerprint and is overlaying theirs with it like they do in Bond films.

Security is high these days!

It's a moulded plug so can't really check it, anyway I have my comfy slippers on now and am shock free:D

I get a few shocks a day off laptops at work. God knows why. My manager has put it down to my shoes on the carpet cause it only happens to me :S

You should tell your manager it's static from working so fast:D
