The power adapter says it works with any voltage between 100-240, so can I just stick an American plug on a 13-amp 4-way plugblock and use that for power (My digital camera also has the same stated voltage range)? Is there anything else I need to take into account?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 26 Jan 2005 22:33:48 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/using-uk-bought-vaio-in-usa/m-p/2165#M116204 JayAyliff 2005-01-26T22:33:48Z Re: Using UK-bought Vaio in USA https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/using-uk-bought-vaio-in-usa/m-p/2166#M116205 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You should be OK. The European models (well the UK ones at least) have an adaptor in the plug. On these you can unscrew the plug and reveal a two-pin shaver type plug, the power supply is smart enough to identify the voltage used.<BR /><BR />If you do not have a two-pin plug, then you will need an adaptor to convert the UK three-pin plugs to two-pin plugs. <BR /><BR />I would recommend a surge protector to prevent damage caused by surges.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Jan 2005 00:40:00 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/using-uk-bought-vaio-in-usa/m-p/2166#M116205 jammold 2005-01-27T00:40:00Z Re: Using UK-bought Vaio in USA https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/using-uk-bought-vaio-in-usa/m-p/2167#M116206 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have no problems whatsoever so far, works great!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Jan 2005 02:19:32 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/using-uk-bought-vaio-in-usa/m-p/2167#M116206 Akanksha 2005-01-27T02:19:32Z Re: Using UK-bought Vaio in USA https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/using-uk-bought-vaio-in-usa/m-p/2168#M116207 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>A lot of kit these days can work anywhere in the world.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Jan 2005 16:51:56 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/using-uk-bought-vaio-in-usa/m-p/2168#M116207 kee-lo_ 2005-01-27T16:51:56Z
