I need to ground my Toshiba laptop as it says in the title. It is not a static charge problem because I live in the tropics. It also only happens when I plug in the laptop (the metal case becomes charged). I can ignore the occasional 'zaps' but I am worried about my equipment. I run a small home studio and using a condenser mic on my usb interface results in a lot of low frequency noise. The laptop charger has no distinct neutral, nor ground prong. I have tried placing the plug in the socket both ways but no luck. Everything else in the house doesn't appear to show symptoms of improper grounding.

I'd recommend to have a local Electrician look into the problem.
It is close to impossible to analyse the root cause (correctly!) at a distance.

NOTE: There are plausible root causes that might cause life threatening hazards - be warned.
