macbook vibrating while charging

Looks like those heads are interchangeable.

Yes you could have seen that from the iStore cable you linked in the first place.

Engineer my ass.

Explain. Because I cannot see that.

I would like to see where it goes to inside ,the clip is quite easy as it plugs into the 3 pin cables as well .you cant earth a double insulated item ,well you can but it then defeats the double insulation ,so that earth must bypass the adapter circuit and earth a pin on the usb c cable

I get what you mean now.

Last I opened one of these up was in the PowerBook G4 days and it was a nightmare but yes I would imagine it just bypasses the rest of it and earths the MacBook itself directly to the wall socket outlet.

Apple has for years now not provided the 3-prong extension old school plug and only a 2-prong version without the earth.

Thats because it should be double insulated ,so no earth required

It’s plain to see as per your last post with the illustration.

effectively by earthing it they are trying to cancell out any stray harmonics in the cable and system .

Yeah the problem comes in that you are working with an all metal chassis.

So this “vibration” is much like a static electricity discharge but constant.

Not all people can feel it either, or I guess they are just insulated themselves depending on what they are wearing.

Exactly.

It’s not a big deal at all, OP is just a drama queen.

To use that extension, do I have to remove the 2 pin head from the apple charger?

You sure you're an engineer?

 

[Priapus]

I didn't say I was an electrical engineer or that I knew everything.

But you said you knew mos - so which is it? Or you just talking ****?

No, I'm an engineer. I know about power sources. So I got another 3 pin charger from another laptop with identical power output. Vibrating stopped. Please don't try it yourself if you don't know what you are doing.

yes ,its going to be difficult to plug all 3 together .the metal tab slides into the earth rail on the cable head .

Everyone knows the heads are interchangeable - you know.. to accommodate different country plug standards.

You're not smart, are you?

 

[margincall]

Then why is everyone laughing?

If I didn't know, then why did I do it??????????
