Power supply

**carpas** · Jun 27, 2006, 05:53am

I bought my toshiba laptop in the UK and will be living abroad for about 6 months, the power supply there is different. Is running my computer of just a normal plug adaptor ok?

Since it is a laptop, I do not expect that you will run into difficulties with a plug adaptor; however, if you see it restarting or losing power, you may consider an alternative.

Always, always make sure you are plugging to the same power source voltage. I think you should have something like a transformer, which is for voltage regulation or conversion, in case the power source to the place you are going to is different.

You might check with Toshiba and see if they have a charging cord that works where you are going. That would be the safest bet, I would think.

Otherwise you should be able to user a converter/adapter.
