Thanks guys, it's the power adapter that is the culprit, I'm going to have it replaced.

I have a user that has a surfacebook and a MS dock for the surfacebook. &nbsp;Most of the time, it works fine, but sometimes, when he plugs in the cable to the dock, the icons on the task bar (running programs) start to move around, and the computer makes a noise like when plugging in a usb device. &nbsp;Then they stop for a few minutes and start again. &nbsp;Does anyone know what is causing this and how to resolve it?<br />
This only happens when the surfacebook is plugged into the dock.<br />
<br />
Here's the trouble shooting I've done so far:<br />
1. I have unplugged every device from the docking station, one by one<br />
2. Even unplugged the monitor<br />
3. It still does it without everything unplugged out of the docking station<br />
<br />
I'm thinking there's a problem with the docking station, but how would I fix that?<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
