Question Screen Flickers when a Keyboard is Touched

[cosmoprime]

My refurbished Dell monitor flickers anytime someone touches their keyboard (mine or my co-workers) and they get a static shock. Anyone have this issue?

a short

Agreed with rgd1101
Probably a short somewhere. If you've just bought it, I'd personally return it.

Thanks, RGD1101 and PC Tailor. I didn't start happening until we got keyboards with metal casings recently. I've had the monitor for a while and just started noticing it. I've had the monitor for a while. I'll try to get it replaced but I think I'm outside my window of opportunity there.

get a new keyboard or put padding on the bottom

 

[cosmoprime]

Do you have some padding that you would recommend and should I put the padding below the keyboard or the monitor or both?

 

[rgd1101]

I would try anything first. could be issue with the new keyboard itself

Thanks! I will try.

Something like this?
