Laptop vibrating - new adapter fix?
A few days ago, I noticed my HP laptop vibrating whenever it was plugged in. Apparently, something is wrong with the grounding and it's become somewhat electrified. Coincidentally, something is wrong with my adapter cable now to where it doesn't want to work most of the time - it gets pretty hot, so the wires might be fried.
Obviously this is a potentially dangerous situation that needs to be fixed ASAP. My question is, would simply buying a new adapter fix the electrical problem? Or does it need to go to a shop either way?

Well, the soldering might be gone. In which case it might be a shock or fire hazard. I'd go with both - a new adapter, and getting it checked (or opening it yourself, or specifically checking that when plugging the new adapter).
