[P1] iBook electrical shock

[Samantha Packingham]

Thanks for the input.

I'm going to send it in for repair, but the warranty is through 
ServiceNet, and I've had some problems with their repair centers in the 
past.

Do you have any idea what I should expect them to repair?  I want to be 
able to talk to them intelligently about the problem, and this is 
outside of my area of expertise.

Also, Michael, when this happened to you, did it stop?  Was it only 
when you were charging it?

I am no longer charging it when I am not available to watch it.  I 
typically leave it plugged in all night, could that have created the 
problem?  The battery is older and no longer holds a charge well...is 
there any chance that it could be contributing to the problem?
