    Question about power/current in monitor cords?


    Hey guys quick question I have noticed something at first by accident and now often, Does a DP/hdmi/DVI cord carry a current/power/static in it? or can it? The reason I ask is the other night I was plugging up my mini itx build at work and I went to plug in the HDMI cable to it and I noticed a soft blue electric almost static like light when the metal from the HDMI cable touched the metal backing of the GPU.

    I thought well this isn't good so I bought a new cable thinking the old one might be bad right? (this was last night mind you) So today I get home and I am undoing my DVI cable from my main pc to hook up a club3d DP cable gold plated etc. I noticed that same blue tiny light as it was dark is this normal? I touched it to the case a few times / back of the gpu and it stopped so I was thinking it was static build up possibly? and that worries me as I know how sensitive hardware can be!


    Is there any precautions I can take personally to prevent this? Or should I be worried about premature hardware failure due to this? or am I just going crazy in the end?

    P.S. The cable at work was a HDMI to DP cable(insignia) Monitor end was hdmi, gpu end was DP, if that helps any.*Huh*Huh

    P.P.S. Thing I noticed was the cords was plugged into monitor and they was powered and both machines are powered by evga supernova PSU's as well as plugged into a surge protector and as far as I know are grounded out.

    :)

    Rca 2in1tablet power cord.

    I need to replace the power cord on my RCA 2in1 tablet, but am having a hard time finding one to fit. Tried two different universal cords from Walmart and neither fit correctly to start charging. Any suggestions?
