are you getting shock when you touch cabby?
then it is sure a earthing problem...
that "wall" will not be a good source(maybe the nail didnt conduct properly...) to bring the cabinet volatge to a neutral level...
cal your electrician, he will check if there is earth wire in your switch board and check with a incandiscent bulb if it is working or not.
or else get a new earthing done(hole in earth and copper wire, blah blah...)
many be the apartment should do for you if youre rented... its their responsibility
earth failing could be hazardous in some places(washing machine?)

weill i have 5 hdmi cables now...
2- the ones with that cool-looking fiber/plasctic wound on the plastic pipe(which covers the bare wires) are performing well.
2- oridnary black cable one is performing bad (sreen blanks if anything in the house is swiched on.)
1- got a 10m just 2 days back.(whith that cool looking thingy and it is also good.)
these are based on my experience, i dont say that the cool looking cables are extremely good approved cables.

if there is current running thru the cabby does it mean current leakage / a faulty smps? ?

I had the same problem at home with a dell monitor. We swapped hdmi cable with dvi and problem was solved..
The funniest thing is...
My friend works in an mobile app development company as a UI designer.
The designer group sits in a common area and using 24" dell monitors...
They have switches for lights...
And the same flickering happens on most of their monitors if someone turns on/off the switches..
