electricity leak through magnetic port

[nano_said]

i connect my phone to my laptop to do a media transfer and i fellt a slight tingling at the magnetic port but only when the phone is connected to the laptop via the usb/charger cable, there's no leak via a socket charger.. maybe it's just my laptop usb port that is leaking..

anyone experiences this?

btw it's has been 4 month since sony replaced my phone, water damaged  for the 2nd time (1st, screen and batery busted, 2nd soaked motherboard, as they said) under waranty (luckily they replaced it just a month before my waranty expired). i know it's a new phone since the IMEI noumber is different from the box.. 

I got that going for me, which is nice

That's rather odd, do you experience the same while charging the phone through another computer or wall charger ?

You can also contact your local Xperia care

I tried with an original and 3rd party wall charger, a powerbank, and i try it again on my laptop but sadly i couldn't recreate the event.. Maybe it's just a one time thing with a coincidence of wet hand..

It might be a one time thing as you mentioned but if it happen again, contact your local Xperia Care, BTW does your phone has a protective case?

Just a basic cheap clear silicone case. I'll keep a 'feel' if the situation occurs again.. Haha

I doubt it was a leak as this would mean you have a bad earth and your phone would have shorted out so I'd suspect you had static on your person like from your cloths etc and touching the magnetic port helped you to become earthed discarding the static

I forgot about static and stuff. Haha Well, that as good explaination as any come to think of it.
