Hi All, I know this is going to be a bit of a weird first post but I really need people's views on if this is possible or not. I was working on a setup as follows: Laptop with mains plugged in to a multisocket and laptop was connected to the TV via an HDMI cable. I was working away and had just gone into a teleconference when as I put my hands up to the headset (which was usb wired connected to the laptop) all hell broke loose.....
I had what I can only describe as a complete vertigo experience and I went to stand up and I felt this crawling sensation that came from the back of the neck and went over my head. There was also like a strange buzzing going on, my vision went all funny, I hit the floor then as I pulled the headphones off suddently everything went back to normal and I was left with a tingling sensation in my ams and legs. At the time I assumed it was some kind of internal health event but after looking over everything the next day I noticed the HDMI socket and usb socket on the laptop are right next to each other and on the same side as the powered cable and the TV cabinet is damaged. Is it possible that this could have been caused by a surge coming to the headphones? Two days on and my arms feel sore from the inside. I'm about to have a shed load of medical tests and if a shock is possible then I want to mention it but have no idea of the likelihood this could occur and don't want to bring it up if it's more likely I will land on the moon in the next five years. No burning smells or evidence of charring on any of the leads, what do you think?
