Power supply for US computer in Singapore?

[Dert42]

So I have an HP Touchsmart 600. And the power supply says it takes 240v, but I can't figure out where to get the input cord.

An electronics store sold me an adapter that will accept the plug, but I'm anxious about using that and blowing the computer up.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about and know where to get the replacement cord?

The part they sold you, does it include the AC adapter/box? Or just the physical conversion? If the latter, you're fine.

Can post a picture of which part you are talking about ?

Most power supplies are auto switching

PS: if you are referring to a travel adaptor, as the one sold by a store, then it should be 3 pin to fit properly. If it is loose, you may have the normal sparking and shorting.

An adapter is just that... a device that takes one set of prongs and turns them into another set. And even if you were crazy enough to buy a transformer, who gives a shit... it turns 240 back into 120... so how exactly is that going to blow your computer up?

this is really lost in translation!

is your original cord 2-pin plug? and someone sold you an adaptor so you can plug it into a 3-pin socket? if that's the case, it wont blow up.

[Dert42]

Sorry I don't know much about electricity.

My PC uses a US 3 prong.
The sold me a simple adapter that I adapts it to Singapore 3 prong.
That's ok?

So you are saying your plug has two blades and the third one is a pin of sorts.



Then a standard multi-adapter like this:




is all you need if the powerpack says it's rated for 220-240V.

On the other hand, what does the other end of the power cord looks like? If it's detachable, you can also opt to buy a cord with the properly shaped plug if you don't fancy using an adapter.

It is detachable, and I thought I needed to get the part of the cord that would plug into the wall. No idea where to get it though.

Go to Funan, or SimLim. you should be able to find a job that sells those parts.
