Anyone here had any spontaneous combustion problems with these?

This got me wondering about the SZ series (eg: SZ 760) which has actual detectable electricity running through the metal palm rest. You can feel it if you ground yourself and run a finger along that palm rest. A voltmeter picks up a little bit, too. Quite a hazard :/

It's a shame about Sony. Their products are always great except for those little errors that make them (worst case) explode and kill people...
