Well,
All I can tell is that I had the same problem on a Mac Laptop. I taped over the ground pin of the power supply as well and it did not work but it definitely worked when I CUT the ground wire in the main plug. (220V) You should give it a try.
Please make sure you unplug it first. If that's the problem then you're probably experiencing 'ground-loop' hum. I know there are better ways to get rid of it, but I'm not sure what they are.
