had same issue with my lappy back when.
cheap fix was a 3 prong to 2 prong converter for when it was plugged in recording mixes etc.
only my method is more risky

you need a
"ground loop isolator"
that's the exact item you need so google it
if you live in the US, radioshack has one (dont let them get involved in trying to solve your problem though).
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... Id=2062214
send it through the out on your laptop with all the necessary cable fittings, simple as that
there are many similar parts available online, so it should be easy to get anywhere in the world. anything with the same name that looks like the photo in the above link.
good luck

what you mean is another circuitsleepgolfer wrote:try any other socket in your flat that has no other devices plugged in...
and some apartments have only one circuit which all the sockets run on.
also if i'm not mistaken the amount of devices plugged in is not the source of the problem, it's the wiring of the circuit itself in conjunction with the laptop's own power handling.
someone please correct me if i'm wrong about any of this
but no, don't start an electrical fire
