X1 Carbon adapter - 220V?

I recently purchased an X1 Carbon and am going to Italy. Is the adapter rated for 220V as well as 110V? Should i use a tranformer or converter to be safe. Dont want to burn up my new laptop.

Good day and welcome to the community.
I don't have a Carbon, but I just checked three different IBM/Lenovo power adapters: 72W - T43 era series, 90W - T60p era series and 65W - Yoga13, and all of them are labeled Input: 100-240V 50-60Hz. So, should be ok. You'll just need the appropriate adapter "prongs".
I'm pretty confident that other members can weigh in with personal experience to confirm.
Regards.

Travel adapter 220V to 110V

I'm traveling to Mongolia with a 3GS and need to know if all I need is a simple plug adapter or whether I need a plug adapter and step-down voltage converter for my iPhone. I understand the concept of a plug adapter simply allowing a different plug type to access the same voltage (220V in this case), but I worry that the charger and iPhone won't be able to handle the 220V when its built for 110V power here in the US.
Any thoughts?

I also raised that question some months ago. If you have the latest plug from Apple, all you will need is the plug adapter. I always travel with both....the plug adapters and a voltage converter in case I, or someone in my group, have an older appliance.

2014 X1 Carbon Adaptive Keyboard not working

Hi There,
I just tried my new x1 carbon 2014 a week ago, I was trying my adaptive keys and it worked accordingly the first time I tried the notebook.
After I did some installation with windows 8.1 update and lenovo update, I noticed that the adaptive keys is totally blank.
1. I did the adaptive keys setting but still not working at all.
2. I did the factory reset / reinstallion but still not working at all.
Can anyone help me regarding this matter? is it because the factory defect?
thx alot

did you get into the bios menu? if yes, and your touch strip still doesn't work then you have a hardware problem.

New X1 Carbon Adaptive Keyboard strip not switching

I have a X1 Carbon Touch (Machine Type 20A7).
It came with Windows 8.1 Pro but I flahsed my company image (Windows 7 x64 Enterprise) onto it.
Everything works fine and I installed all drivers but the adaptive keyboard strip stays at F1 F2 .. keys and does not change no matter what. Pressing the Fn key does not switch it. I installed the On screen display and have the Adaptive Keyboard show in Control Panel and Dynamic Mode is also on.
The camera icon only flashes the screen once and does nothing. The Wifi icon does nothing and the Gear icon does nothing as well. Only the keyboard light icon and the regular F1 F2 keys work fine.. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT:
I noticed something funny.. While starting up or before logging into Windows (at Windows lock screen) I'm able to switch the adaptive keyboard strip... But once I'm logged into Windows it suddenly stops working. if I lock the screen again I'm able to switch the adaptive keyboard strips again... What's going on?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When I have seen this in the past it is caused by not having the proper Power Management driver in the OS image.
20A7 uses a new version of Power Management driver and if your IT guys didn't update the company Win7 image to include the new driver, then it's not going to work.

X1 Carbon - Come on, Lenovo. A little conscientiousness, please.

I would like to express my disappointment in Lenovo's product and their lack of apt customer service.
I bought my X1 Carbon (adaptive keyboard) in Singapore while on holiday sometime late March. I started using it mid-April. I am currently residing in the Philippines.
In the beggining, I had no issues with the unit. Come late May, the screen started flickering in and out, accompanied by glitches and static formations - this happened usually when the device was running with a heavier load. Apart from flickering, I noticed that the screen was a tad dim despite being at full brightness.
Come early July, I contacted the service hotline (redirected to call center in Malaysia) to explain my concern. The customer representative concisely told me that a technician from their partner in the Philippines would contact me very soon and drop by to wherever I am to repair the unit. That I had nothing to worry about. Clearly the customer representative knew this to be a known concern as he had very few questions before concluding his diagnosis of my unit.
The wait was more than 2 weeks before I contacted the service hotline again, expressing concern that nobody got back to me despite getting an assurance that my issue would be resolved expeditiously. This representative assured me that someone from their service center partner would contact me within the day.
This still did not happen so I procured the number of their service partner and made the call myself. After much confusion and a lot of time sapped, we finally got on the same page and they found that, indeed, I had a pending case and that they are waiting for an LCD Panel and LCD Cable for my unit. A few days later, on August 01, 2014, the technician was in front of me, tinkering with my laptop in an attempt to replace the parts.
As an aside, I asked the technician why the paint on the screws on the bottom of my supposedly brand new unit was faded. He told me that my unit was likely not exactly brand new but a repaired-brand new unit. That when shops receive a unit, they run it for some time and if they see a problem, they repair it then sell it still. A reason why I went to an authorized Lenovo dealer was precisely because I wanted to relax in the idea that I would receive a laptop that corresponded to the price and hassles I went through. Certainly not a repaired unit.
While the technician was attempting to dismantle my laptop, I saw that he had a hard time. I asked him why and he said it was his first time handling a unit like mine. This did not sit well with me, as I am sure it would not with most others.
When he got to replacing the LCD Panel, I saw that the panel that came with my laptop had a lot of black fingerprint smudges on it. Does this not say something about the Production Process and Quality Control?
Further, he realized that the LCD Cable supplied him was not compatible with my unit so he decided to use the old cable, in hopes that the LCD Panel was the only culprit in the flickering issue.
When he put everything back together, there was no display. From a flickering screen to nothing. He went and opened the unit up again to find out why - this took a few hours of trial and error, ending up in no display, over and over again. Finally, as he was trying to remove the Panel again, he saw that he did not attach the LCD Cable properly. He rectified and the unit worked but with the screen still dimmer than it should be - something he confirmed as a symptom of a faulty part, probably the LCD cable, he mentioned.
He told me that within 5 days, he would get the new LCD Cable to me, along with a sim card cover, which he damaged. I followed up within those 5 days and the representative from Lenovo's service center partner tersely deflected my concern, telling me to go and call Lenovo as it was not their concern.
As I have been indisposed for some time, it is just now I have found the time to write this. Nobody has gotten back to me since August 01, again, despite previous assurances.
In this post are an inordinate amount of concerns with Lenovo and their unit. To summarize, and hopefully get some feedback and assistance:
- Authorized Lenovo seller in Singapore sold me a seemingly repaired unit - basis: paint on screws were faded, technician mentioned that it had indeed been opened (dealer S.O.P.) and battery portion was tinkered with, which led him to presume there was a previous battery concern.
- Lenovo service hotline and service supplier partner here apparently had flimsy coordination as I, the customer, had to call both parties up to follow-up on my concerns. Took much longer than was promised.
- Wrong parts sent, technician, albeit seemingly capable with Lenovo laptops, had no experience with my unit. Leading to hours of trial and error and damaging of a portion of housing (sim card cover). And due to the sheer amount of moving around the hardware, seals within do not stick well within and a good bet that parts are looser than ought to be.
- Further weeks of waiting despite claims of getting the right part sent to me within 1 week. Still waiting, into 3rd week now.
- Production process / quality control issue - black smudges on original LCD Panel. Isn't this hazardous for the individuals in the production line?
- Oh, and what started everything - factory defect laptop, like many others on this board, with a dim and flickering screen.
Before I purchased this unit, I had, for some time, been looking to purchase my first Lenovo unit. Hoping to experience that legendary workhorse quality and reliability.
Given its mid-range specifications, this unit is pretty expensive. Imagine my disappointment when I paid a hefty price for a brand new device to later find out it was not only a repaired unit but a lemon in other parts of its hardware as well.
No replacement of unit, passed around by representatives who either did not care or were not qualified (I am clumping Lenovo's partners as part of Lenovo, yes), ridiculous amounts of waiting time, and still no resolution.
Overall, a top company with 3rd rate practices and service. Simply indecent.

Mine shuts down randomly.
Post-sales: disconnected after 1.5 hours on hold. Thankfully I was doing work and had phone lying on my desk so I did not waste 1.5 hours of my time on hold.
Tried online chat - "call post sales"
Now called again and on hold for 35 minutes.
This is ridiculous. I paid through Amazon Payments - will contact Amazon and see if I can have any recourse through Amazon.

IPad 2 discharging when plugged (10W)?

Since using my brand new iPad 2 over the last two weeks or so I have noticed on more than one occasion that using it while plugged into that 10W adapter (220V) will actually result in the battery percent going down.
For example today while using it (Safari, Maps, YouTube) it went from 99% down to 96% while being plugged all the time and, as I write this post on a laptop with the iPad LCD turned off it went back up to 97%.
The only times I have actually "seen" it recharging were when the display was turned off. As a comparison, the iPad 1 that we also use on a daily basis never discharged with plugged in.
This iPad 2 is running 4.3.2 with only WiFi turned on with a three bars reception quality. It does not have 3G. This discharging problem occurs without using any special power hungry applications such as Skype, FaceTime or 3D games.
I have fully turned off and back on the device a couple of times in hopes to "reset" the percent value or to kill potential uneeded backgoung processes but this did not bring any significant progress.
I thought I could use this iPad as a digital photo frame but this continuous discharging makes that use case impossible.
Anyone noticed the same problem?

No, can't say I've experienced the battery discharging while connected to a wall outlet.
Same behavior while connect via USB to your computer, then you may want to take to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider and have them check it out.
iPad: Charging the battery
iPad: Battery Optimization
If you haven't done so, try a different wall outlet.

X1 Carbon (2014) Adaptive keyboard

I received the new X1 carbon. My IT shop had to image it with the corporate Windows 8 image (which I quickly upgraded to 8.1). My Fn keyboard is basically useless now. I tap on the Fn key and it doesn't do anything. I tap on the "configuration" key and it doesn't do anything. I assume it is because I don't have the Adaptive Keyboard app in control panel. I can't find where to download and install it from. Please help!

Hi Abraithwaite,
If you press F1 to bios, could you change key row?
And did it work for your original win8 OS before?

I am going to buy a time capsule it it will work on European 220v as the Mac Book Pro does. Can anyone tell me if it does when you use a plug adapter. Thanks

Will the Time Capsule work on European 220v if it was bought in the US. Do you need a transformer or just a plug adapter? Thanks

The Time Capsule will run on 100-240 volts and 50-60 Hz so you only need a plug adapter, not a transformer with this device.
For more details, look under the Electrical heading on the specifications of the Time Capsule.

HT1981 I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

Assuming you're in North America now, you probably won't need any sort of plug adaptor there; most sockets in the Philippines are the same as those in North America. In case you do, it doesn't contain the correct adaptor.
Voltage conversion is handled by the MacBook without any additional components.

Travel adapter, not converter to charge in a 220V country

Will a travel adapter, not converter, be ok to charge my mba in a 220v country?
I noted in the manual it said under 'Magsafe power spec's: Line Voltage 100 to 240 V.
Thx!!

Yes. Mac just needs an adapter, not a converter.
Best.

220V to 110V adapter?

I just moved to Seoul and want to make sure I don't fry my computer. I got a plug that goes into the power adapter and then into the wall (which is a 220v power source).
Will the power adapter convert the power? The last thing I want is to fry this baby into oblivion.

No most likely that plug is just a converter so you can physically plug into the outlet.
Don't worry, your power supply can run on either 110 or 220. Look at the little sticker on it.

Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

FOr this and anything, read the fine print on the charger. It should say that it takes an input of 100 - 240v. That means all it needs is an adapter. If it doesn't have that number range then don't plug it in. (like stedman says, official apple chargers are rated for world wide power)

Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v?

Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v, Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v?, Could you change the 110v ac adapter to 220v?
I bought the Iphone4s in Canada but, I need a 220v ac adapter.
So I asked apple canada for that but, they don`t have 220v ac adapter.

I know but tha charger's shape is different so, i need circle one. Like UK's adapter.

USB Power Adapter, is it usable with 220V or only 110V?

I am considering buying the mini USB power adapter along with the iPod touch, but I live in India where we have only 220V. Does anybody know if the Apple Power Adaptor for the iPod is 220V or only 110V? Thanks!

The review comments for this charger says it is good for 110-220V
