Power supply for US computer in Singapore?
Power supply for US computer in Singapore?
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?

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.

Re: Power supply for US computer in Singapore?
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?Dert42 wrote:So I have an HP Touchsmart 600.
