When the power cable is connected, AC current flowing from the power brick on surface pro 3 will cause electrical leakage.
The voltage here is 240V, enough to kill you.
The orange light from the test pen shows AC current flowing through the whole case!
The power brick has 3 pins plug, but the cord is only 2 pins, that means there is no earth wire into the surface pro 3 power cable. M$ should have made a earth wire into the power brick and grounding the metal chassis.
RMA is useless since a replacement adapter will still have such leakage problem.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

What is the impedance of this voltage source? I suspect you are seeing a little leakage current through a mains filter capacitor. At worst you might get a little tingle.
Voltage does not kill; current kills.
However, it is possible that your PSU is faulty so get it checked by someone who understands electricity.
