vlatkozelka Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 So as a lot of you know when i come on TS i sound like i'm speaking trough a potato . Well it's partially cuz of mic and lag . But it's also because of that annoying static . I think the solution is to properly ground the PC , i think so cuz most of the time if i'm not wearing anything in my feet and i try to touch the back of my PC i get electrocuted . But the problem is here in Lebanon they hate that green/yellow line called ground and just cut it off when they install anything , so basically i dont have ground in any of the sockets in my house :/ So what would be a way to properly ground my PC ? run a line down the building and impale it to the ground ? ( i read that somewhere ) , or maybe to the water pipes ? i read that works but could make neighbors get zapped when they shower lol . Anyone knows how to do this stuff ?
shaitan Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Metal pipe option is easier, but running your own wire to the ground is better.
Joetorp Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 You could try reversing the plug, your hot wire and neutral are out of phase, While the outlet will read 110volts, it it reading the potential between the 2 wires, but the hot wire on the plug is going to the neutral wire on the receptacle, thereby giving off a potential difference, It's called a floating ground which completes the circuit, but when touch the pc you are getting a current flow to ground through your body.

Joe In europe we use 230Volts
StJohn Gumby Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 In europe we use 230Volts Yeah, you only get elecrocuted once this side of the pond. Real tough guys Gumby
Joetorp Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah, you only get elecrocuted once this side of the pond. Real tough guys Gumby you guys are 50hz, so you wouldn't shake as fast as we do on this side of the pond with 60hz while being electrocuted.
WNxM45T3R Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 If you lick it and describe in detail the taste (metallic, earthy etc) i may be able to help? 2
bad2gurlz Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 To ground your pc...... Just throw it on the ground. Problem solved 1
StJohn Gumby Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Vlat, have you fixed it or are you dead? Either way, I guess we can flag this as solved. Gumby
vlatkozelka Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Vlat, have you fixed it or are you dead? Either way, I guess we can flag this as solved. Gumby nah i just got busy with uni projects , got 4 due the same day . Thatnks for worryin lol
StJohn Gumby Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I was worried you might have taken M45T3R's advice. Gumby
