Do the ions in anyway affect electronic devices, such as laptops, gaming consoles, or televisions?

No there will be no affect from the negative ions being emitted from the salt lamp on anything electronic. There are ions in the air at any given moment and never harm anything. Hope I helped! �

I have two Salt Lamps; one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom, and i find no interference with any of my electronics.

yes, only from the laptop or personal computer. Remember you have to connect the ION to a PC, laptop or iPad.-

Hello, if you are asking if a static charge will develop around the surface of an object if the ionizer is aimed at the object - the answer is that it depends. For example, if you stand directly in front of the ionizer (within a couple feet away from the ionizer) and you are wearing shoes then your body will develop a slight static charge. However, if you are barefoot, then the floor will drain the charge away before your body has a chance to develop a static charge.

I don't know for certain but I would expect that would happen. If the power surge is large enough to disable/destroy other electronics in your house then I suspect it would damage this device as well.

It most probably is because these other electronic devices produce and release positive ions in a manner similar to the negative ion generator producing and releasing negative ions. With this being the given situation--if the devices are too close together, then the positive ions from these other electronic devices may nullify the negative ions' overall effect on the local environment. Additionally, this may create a rift in the space-time continuum, and you could quite possibly disappear never to be seen again.

No, it in to help protect the sensitive micro circuits in the equipment we use from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Phil

I have lost 2 televisions due to lightning strikes thru my cable service and one thru the power outlet. Since then I have taken the precaution of purchasing Uninterruptible Power Supplies for my TV's, VCR's, DVD players', game systems', PC's and my surround audio system, and quality surge protectors for everything else. But I have never had a problem with lightning passing between my devices and the televisions'. However, I have heard it can happen. If the jolt/surge is strong enough it will fry the wiring. Unless you know for sure this has happened to your cable it should be fine but know that wires and cables will go bad over time because they age. If you cannot get a signal between your components, try using another cable. If this cures the problem, then you know that the cable is bad and you should toss it away. I hope this helps.

Not at all. As we all know anything with a current running through it produces heat as a byproduct. RAZR does a great job of preventing this heat from being noticed by the gamer. And I play eso for hours a day.

Negative ions don't have a very long life span, they come out looking for something to attach to. There really isn't a facilitating room size. You can maximize your results by putting it high up giving them more space to fall through, I have my on top of a box on top of a wardrobe so they have plenty of room to fall. Its also suggested if you are using it for sleep you have it about 3' from you. Negative ions don't bounce, if they do travel to a wall or window they can leave the legendary black spot, essentially they take anything they have attached to and stick to positively charged surface. However this unit doesn't have a fan so they don't blow across the room and make a black spot. The cord is a good 8'. Is roughly 4" x 6" and 2" high. It has a "tester" but it only tests that its working. There is no on/off, if it is plugged in its on.

It does but the unit I purchased created a back feed of current into my monitors damaging a tv.

The Ion feature on my KC-860U is on continually, I never have it off, and there isn't any static noise at all; it sits in the corner of our bedroom at least six feet from any electronics, although that shouldn't affect it. Maybe if you call Sharp they might have an answer.

Yes. Laptops and most of the electronics you can use anywhere in the world with just plug converters. These days even TV can be used anywhere.

No. Like all USB charged devices, it operates on 5volts and low current. Besides, it's made by Sony. Its up to spec and won't damage your equipment.

No. its electrical conductivity is minimized to prevent damage to the components

@Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics. Personally I believe that the magnets in this product are not strong enough to cause damage to most modern electrical devices. Plasma, LED, and LCD computers, TVs, phones etc do not suffer from the same issues that the older "big" TVs used to (they are "solid-state"). However, you might want to exercise a bit of caution by not placing the entire box of tiles on top of a computer hard drive. Hard drives can be damaged by magnetic fields. @Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics.

It hasn't in my case. Most electronics logic and components sensitive to a .4 Volt difference run at 1.8V, 3.3V or 5V, as well as the fact that batteries voltage can drop up to a volt or more from full to empty, so there is circuitry to drop a range of voltages down to logic levels and that circuitry should handle the extra .4 volts. That would be the close to limit in my case, though, at which point I'd confirm against Sony branded equipment (the sony adapter is 7.6V as well).

I doubt it - it has not affected my 2012 Toyota's electronics. My understanding is that it senses disturbances in the magnetic field caused by the passage of large metal objects (vehicles). Its radio signal to the receiver should be nothing worse than any radio signals from things like walkie talkies and cell phones already in the environment.
