Ay! Sparks from My Laptop!

When I am plugging in the power cord from my MacBook in to the outlet in the wall, it sparks! Is that normal? Is it bad? Will I get hurt? Will the computer get hurt? It is normal. You probably won’t be hurt, but let’s not risk it. It may not be good for the computer. So, what do we do?

magsafe

The solution is really simple. If you use the following steps, you will not have this problem.

1. Plug the power cord in to the wall.
2. Plug the magsafe adapter end of the power cord in to the computer.

That’s it! (This same process should be used with all laptops, regardless of the manufacturer or type of adapter.)
