Hi, I have a pretty serious problem I think.
Practically when without doing it on purpose I touch/rub the USB or simply the aux cable of the stereo the shell of the notebook emits sparks, black lines immediately appear on the screen which then go away, or sometimes the screen dies directly.
it is as if current were passing through the USB / aux cable from the body, which is not normal.
the serious problem that the notebook I am using it to study is with the history of the coronavirus I cannot bring it to assistance, what can I do?
