especially when my air conditioner starts ((

i turned the kb off (( I neeed to practice (((

I've had my VA7 open several times to fix a key which did not make a sound when I pressed it, or has lost it sensitivity. Until now, never had a shock...

Hasn't this something to do with static electricity? Air conditioners tend to make the air very dry.

Aren't you in Michigan? Why is your AC on in December?

lol...the thing for air conditioning and heat...when the heat starts, the amp makes a sound.....now the air thing is stopped...i moved the amp, and after 5 minutes, i press buttons and i feel electricity

It sounds to me that you've got a serious wiring problems...
In your shoes, I would pickup the phonebook and start looking for a good electrician

cheers,

Have you ever been to Michigan? I happened to visit Ann Arbor several times during winter time. It is VERY cold there and you really need an AC to warm up the house.

yeah - ((

ccdmax i live in some apartment..with rent - in january my parents will buy a house...so i can't call the electrician here..

You can call the manager or owner to the building. I did property management for years. I ended that just about a year ago. Your building owner is responsible for fixing this. It is a very serious hazard, and requires prompt attention.

It won't cost you any money either. General up keep such as this is the sole responsibility of the owner. Have your parents call a soon as possible to fix this problem.

is my va76 in danger ?

Oh yes, if there's an electrical problem in the house, it could short out your VA, or worse--hurt you.

If you live in rental property, and you're having electrical problems that could result in bodily harm or damage to personal property contact the manager or owner ASAP!

This falls under "Landlord Ten. Law". Bascially meaning that both you as a resident, and he/she as an owner have specific rights and obligations. General maint. and upkeep of the property is the responsibility of the owner.

Basically if your toilet breaks, leaking pipe, refrigerator stops working, electrical problems, ect. is the owners responsibility. That's one of the joys of renting as to owning a home. General Maint. is included in your rent, and it's pretty much a universal law under "Landlord Ten. Law" throughout the states.

If YOU are not safe, neither is your VA!

DO AS SQUEAK SAID ... let the property manager know about it.

hey man...when i'm using the headphones everything is cool...btw...the manager is a lazy fat ass

What kind of amp/sound equipment do you use?

also, it can be static... but for that long... probably not.

for my house i use an 100 watts powered stage monitor - YorkVille...today the people from the store i bought it from told me that it might me static...but i don't think it's static...it " electrifies " my fingers from 15 to 15 seconds..i think it's from my outlet...i live in an apartment...what can i do about it... ? earth/ground connection...? how ? what device can i use ... just in case.. ?

There's nothing you can do yourself. You have to understand this is (rental) property. It is the sole responsibility of the owner to fix this type of problem. Trying to do it yourself would most likely (violate) your lease agreement, as almost ALL leases state that "the rentee is not to make any changes to fixtures, electrical, ect without the sole permission of the owner".

You really need to call this guy (even if he's lazy), this is a possible fire hazzard, and risk to you and your family. If he continues to be a jerk, threaten to call the fire marshall, and report him. His building (must) by law be up to code.

he doesn't even know about it..i believe it's not that dangerous...it's just the outlet...it's an apartment complex...and if he comes in and sees my keyboards he won't like it... ( noise ) - and i don't wanna get in trouble...the thing is that today i went to practice with my " band " - and i checked the amp there, too, and everything is very cool...but in my home...everything sucks...well is there a device i can plug the outlet in and set stuff so the problems will end ? ...i don't want the stupid old manager to be involved..he just sucks and makes stupid jokes ..Duh.. i just play the kbs and i get small electric shocks when i press the buttons and there's a " bang " sound, too ......geez i can't express myself well ... see ya - thank you for your concern !

Your landlord can't toss you out for having a keyboard. Your landlord can only get involved if there are complaints from other residents regarding noise levels.

I still advise you to have it fixed. I know you're not from the US, but there are MANY laws protecting renters (actually at times it seems to renters have more rights than the owners).

Have you tried different outlets in your apartment? It's your choice to have it fixed or not. However, you run a pretty serioius risk if this is a severe electrical problem. If you're getting shocked it sounds to me like the outlet isn't properly grounded. That's a bad thing Claudiu!

yep..the ground thing...yep i tried to switch the outlets... ( to plug the thing in in another outlets ) and the same thing happens - same thing happened with the roland amp but i didn't get shocked with that one
