[QUOTE="ting, post: 43361, member: 11449"] I don't know if this is related, but here goes. Here in Norway the national safety administration (losely translated) :wink: has issued a warning specially related to flatscreen TV's. The problem is related to weather the TV's powercord has a grounded powercord. Those that do are at HI risk of causing electricutions and fire, if they are connected to something else thats grounded as well (IE PC, and television Cable). It's a very new discovery, but they seem to take it very seriosly. The fix is a television cable with some special cable or something. In norwegian it's called a "galvanisk skille", translated, I think it means galvanic separator. Here's a link to the article, sorry it's in norwegian [url]http://www.dsb.no/Article.asp?ArticleID=1931[/url] I don't know anything about electricity, but the store where i bought the TV is sending me one of those cables. (Don't know if it's relevant, but in norway we have 220v outlets.) [/QUOTE]
