Laptop trips GFI
Good idea, I'll try that.
"Larry" wrote in message ... If it has 3-wire grounded plug on it, plug it into a ground buster and see if it stops. The input filters on some of the switching supplies allows enough AC to ground pin to trip them. I've had some ground loops trip mine here at home from certain printers plugged into the outlets on other circuits than what the computer is plugged into.

If I reset it a time or two or three, it will hold and work fine until the next time. Interestingly, it will even trip the GFI on a parallel circuit. I am guessing that it has something to do with the large capacitor in the charging unit charging up. Does anyone have an explanation and/or solution? thanks john -- Larry |
