A possible remedy, or workaround, would be to get a power strip with a long cord. I found one at the local home improvement store with an eight or ten foot cord. Also, an easy way to check the outlets in your house (including the ground connection) would be to get an inexpensive plug-in tester at your local home improvement or hardware store. Mine is a three prong. I don't know if they come in two prong.
