    What kind of power adapter do you have? If it is 2 prong, you need to call Dell and have them send you a 3 prong one because the 2 prong were known to shock people where the 3 prong will ground the laptop.

    I think you should solve the elctrical problem before you start painting. Previous post is the way to go.
