Static discharge on ThinkPad case - ouch!

#1 Post by K. Eng » Wed Jan 19, 2005 7:28 pm

It is pretty cold and dry now where I am and I keep static shocking myself on my ThinkPad's case (the magnesium LCD lid as well as the bottom titanium composite).

This isn't harmful to the machine is it?

get a humidifier in your room

Thinkpads can withstand humidity of 5-95%
