yup it still exists

Thanks, that explanation makes sense. In my case, the mild shock is only noticeable when both devices are running on the same extension board. If I move one of them to a different socket in the same room, it goes away. I want to fix this so I can run both on the same extension board without...

I have not tried rotating the plugs yet, I will test that and see if it changes anything. When I feel the mild shock, on the TV it is when touching a USB stick that is plugged in. I also feel it when touching the HDMI port on the TV. However, touching the TV chassis like the wall mount does not...

Do you think creating a local earth connection just for my extension board would help in this case? For example, driving a metal rod into the soil near my room and connecting it to the earth pins of my extension board? Would that reduce the mild shock when both devices are running together, and...

Thanks, but it is not just one device. I get a mild shock on both the TV and the home theater when they are ON together. If I turn OFF the home theater, the shock disappears on the TV, and it works the other way as well. That is why I am thinking it is more like cumulative leakage, especially...

Thanks for the input. Just to clarify, both my TV and home theater are 2 pin double insulated devices, so they do not use earth internally. The issue only appears as a mild shock on metal ports when both are ON, and disappears when one is turned off, which makes it seem more like cumulative...

I’m in India, so the mains supply is standard 230–240V. By “2-pin TV and HT system,” I mean both my TV and home theater come with 2-pin plugs (live + neutral, no earth pin) The setup: TV and home theater are powered through a stabilizer and a extension board wall socket > stabilizer >...

does this condition damage the TV or home theater over time (HDMI ports, components, etc.)? can I create a local earth connection just for my extension board by driving a metal rod into wet soil near my room and run a wire connecting it to the extension box earth pin? will that help, and is...
