Notebook question..

[doodoo]

Let's say I buy a notebook at China. I believe its 220V here. What would I do in order to get it to work in the States without it being fried?

Thanks!

I'm assuming your in China.
The notebook. Assuming it has an external PSU that connects between the mains supply and the notebook, will be rated for 220v input, ???v output. You will need to get a PSU that will match your input at home 110v, and the ???v output.

If the PSU is inside the notebook, i.e. only a cable going between mains and the notebook, then you've got a slightly bigger problem. Unless you want to get invovled in surgery, the easiest solution is to get a step up mains transformer. i.e. 110v ac in - 220v ac out. Connect this to the power lead.

Bare in mind, if the warranty is return to base? Could be a nightmare if anything went wrong with the notebook.

Hope this helps a little.

All the best, Justy.
