Wonders shall never end in science and electricity! And last night around 11:40PM NEPA restored our light and feeew I switched on my dvd player cos I wanted to charge my power bank with the DVD USB outlet like I have always done for months, and the USB cord was already connected to the DVD but in the process of trying to fix the USB micro head cord to the power bank, I received a serious shock, which got me trembled.

OK, I wondered! What could be the problem? I asked myself; firstly I powered off the DVD player, still unable to risk any further electric shock at that moment, I headed straight for my tester, and I used it touch the micro USB end of the cord and the tester was lit, meaning there is still electric current there.

Next I quickly unplugged the DVD from the main power supply and retest the micro USB head with the tester and to my amazement, the tester was still lit, again signifying electric current that can still shock.

I now used the tester to touch on other visible metallic components on the dvd player like the AV inlet and out connector and they still lit the tester, and again I used the tester to touch the unplugged plug Pins, to my amazement, the tester was also lit and which is still an indication of capable of shocking parts.

I said I will leave the whole thing and go to bed so I can continue my observation in the morning.

To my 2nd greatest surprise, I still use my tester to touch all those parts this morning that have been unplugged since yesterday, including the plug pins and they still lit my tester.

At this point, I am a bit confused and still wondering what the hell could still be causing all those dvd parts and plug to be lightening up my tester. And not even that I am trying to uncouple any component of the dvd o!

With my knowledge of science and electronics, I know for sure that components that can store electric charges are the inside capacitor, and the dvd player does not even have big capacitors as such that can store high voltage of electricity and storing it for long period of time for the that matter. And not even the capacitors that are lightening up my tester but other visible and surprising components.

Now I am calling on the experts in the house to come and have their say and tell me on what next to do cos I am still looking at the dvd in bewilderment! And in fact I am looking on whether I can even tap on the electric current still been produced by the unplugged dvd to generate voltage that I will be using when NEPA strikes, since the dvd does not want to stop producing electric current.. Lol.

Updated!! Issue and mystery resolved.

The cause was actually from the AV connector on the TV to DVD

Test the ground u standin on...

Guess ur body must be a good conductor of electricity

Below are images of me testing it out this morning

lalasticlacla, leave honey moon and cum fast! E be like say na tokumbo dvd u buy

I just did as you said but no any sign of electricity on the ground

Check well again dont breathe while checking

I have checked well and I have ceased my breath, and still no sign of electricity on the ground

lets wait to hear from the elders

This one that the elders are taking time to arrive, or are they not having any idea on the matter?

if the DVD is still connected to your TV through any of connector port like the hdmi ..the current might be coming from from TV set or other connected appliances
