Using an X40 AC adapter with 220 volts/50Hz

Hi:
Can someone verify that the AC adapter for an X40 that we purchased in Canada can be used at 220 volts in South America.
It says:  Input: 100-240v;1.5A 50-60 Hz
I'd sure hate to damage the laptop.
Many thanks

Lenovo and IBM have supplied the 100 V to 240 V adapter that automatically varies the voltage. So you can use it in South America.

  • Can I use my I-phone with 220 volt with only a plug in prong adapter or do I need a voltage converter?

    can I use my I-phone with 220 volt (China) with only a prong adapter, or do I need a votlage converter as well. Unit purchased and used in USA.

    The iPhone charger is a world charger, no voltage converter needed. All you might need is a plug adapter, but that's it. Your charger will work fine & no worries about frying your phone as suggested by the orther poster who has no idea what he/she is talking about.

  • Do you need a power transformer to use a US based Ipad on 220 volts

    I can not find the voltage specs for the Ipad, can it use European power (220 volts) without a transformer, I know you need a plug adaptor

    No you do not need a transformer. The iPad works with 220 volts and 110 volts.

  • Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"?  I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

    Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"?  I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

    Yes, a 13" non-Air model requires a minimum of 60 watts, so you will be fine. If it is a 2011 or earlier model, the connector is the regular MagSafe, whereas this year's models use the MagSafe 2 that is different.

  • OVD Adapter Question using template "OAM/ADAM Adapter with Mapper"

    I am creating adapter to ADAM using template "OAM/ADAM Adapter with Mapper" in OVD 11.1.1.7.0 using ODSM.
    obpasswordhistory, obpasswordexpirydate, obLoginTrycount and obLockouttime fields are not displayed in OVD. They are present in ADAM instance.
    Any thoughts on how to add these missing fields in OVD?

    You would need to extend OVD schema as well. You can refer to production documentation

  • Can i use my i phone and i pad chargers when in a foreign country with 220 volt service without using a voltage converter?

    Can I use my i phone and i pad chargers in China where the voltage is 220 volts? I realize that I will need a plug adaptor, but the question is do I need a voltage converter?

    You should read the fine print on your charger.  The one I got with my iPad 4 (12 watt) says "Input: 100-240V".  So it should work with 220V with another adaptor.  The iPhone charger does not allow other adaptors but can use an iPad charger with an iPhone.

  • Using Cellphone charger/car adapter with Creative

    Can I use my Motorola Cellphone charger and car adapter with my new ZEN 4GB? It has a mini USB plug and the following specifications:
    Input: 00-240V~50/60Hz 0.2A
    Output: 5.0V DC 550mA
    I would appreciate it if somebody who has a Creative charger would check the rating plate on it and see how it compares to my Motorola. I am going to Asia for a couple weeks and I won't be taking a computer but want my music.
    By the way I did a search on this and this question has been asked before but never answered. Hope I get a better response. Thanks!

    Let's see. How does that old song go? Going to set right down and write my self a letter.....
    I tried both the 2V car adapter and the home charger that came with my Motorola cellphone and they both appear work just fine on my ZEN. Might not be a good idea to leave them plugged in unattended for a long period of time because I am not sure they have a way of sensing the charge condition of the ZEN battery the way *I assume* my computer's Creative ZEN USB driver does.

  • Can I use my mac book pro with 120 volt and 240 volt power supplies?  Does the power converter automatically switch, so I just need a different adapter plug?

    I got my mac book pro in the U.S., but I will be travelling to where there is 240 volt power.  Does the mag safe power adapter switch automatically, so I just need a converter plug, or do I need a transformer to convert from 240 to 120 volts?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    I too bought my Macbook Pro in the US and I live in the UK (its so much cheaper in the US! No 20% VAT!)
    The power adapter does work on UK 230v power. You can also get a three pin extension lead (like the 2 pin US one that came with the MBP) for about £3 with free delivery from Amazon UK.
    Another tip, whne you are back in the UK, and you are switching from a PC to a Mac, get in touch with your local Apple Shop who run one to one free courses on how to use your MBP.
    Hope This Helps!!

  • Can using a MB power adapter with a MBP become a problem?

    I got a late 2008 Macbook here and a early 2008 Macbook Pro. I noticed that the power adapters are of different size. When I use the power adapter of the late 2008 Macbook with my early 2008 Macbook Pro, it gets quite hot which, I assume, is due to a higher power requirement of the early 2008 MBP.
    Can this become a problem?

    Although I cannot say for your particular combination, the general rule tends to be that a power adaptor that is lower in power rating than what was issued can run the computer or charge the battery, but not both. There are time when you need max power. It's obvious from Apple docs and reports here that the MBP can draw from both the battery and AC power under extreme workload condition. In such a case the battery would run down, something less likely to happen with the proper adaptor.
    I have a pre-owned PowerBook G4 17" that should have a 65W power adaptor but came with a 45W unit. It will not start on AC power without some charge on the battery. That's the stuff you can encounter.
    Did you notice that the Late 2008 Macbook Pros rate their own new forum here:

  • Can i use an old power adapter with a new powerbook

    I have an old powerbook AC adapter/charger from a previous powerbook that is dead. It is a 60 Watt charger Mod # 1184. Can I use it with the latest powerbook. It came with an 85 watt mod #1343? The shape of the connector is different but it seems to be the same kind of connection and fits fine. I haven't actually tried to use it to charge my laptop but it would be nice to have a spare charger. Thanks
    Les

    There are no "new" Powerbooks any more. They were replaced by the MacBook Pro in 2006.
    If the new computer is really a MacBook Pro and the old one is a PowerBook, adaptors are not interchangeable. Totally different connectors. All MacBook Pros use an 85W power supply; 15-inch PowerBooks used 45W and the 17-inch PowerBooks used 65W.
    The MacBook and the MacBook Pro share the same magnetic connector, the MagSafe. Sounds like you have an older Macbook power supply--they are 60W.
    A 60W MacBook Power Supply will "work" with a MacBook Pro but not fully service the computer. It will run the computer or charge the computer, but not both at the same time. I you have a very processor-intensive task running that can draw power from both the power adaptor AND the battery, you could be risking a shutdown.

  • Can I use a USB wireless adapter with my iMac G4 Flat Panel (it has no Airport card).

    I have just salvaged an iMac G4 15-inch Flat Panel from the skip and now have it running Mac OS X Tiger 10,4. It has a 700mhz cpu, 80Gb hard drive and 512mb of Ram. No airport card is fitted so I was wondering if a USB wireless adapter could be used instead. I have a Belkin F5D8055ea USB wireless adapter fitted and the system recognises the device, this is as far as I have got as I am a complete novice on Apple/Mac machines. Anyone any ideas please?

    If the device is recognised, see if you can located your wi-fi network using Airport Utility.

  • Using old Macbook Pro Adapter with new Retina

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro (15") that I've got about 2 additional power adapters for situated at various locations. I JUST bought a brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro and would like to reuse the power adapters on it.
    Is this possible?
    Physically the magsafe plug won't fit but isn't there an adapter out there?
    What's the wattage restrictions on this?

    Hi zamboknee,
    This can be done with the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter, which can be purchased at the link below. Aside from that, MacBook Pros still utilize 85 W input, the same for both MacBook Pros.

  • HT4275 Only Work with 110 volt?

    I Ende charge  my iPad 3 and i Havre 220 vol over here, trying put on computer but receive the words not charging, Can use the adapter with 220 volt or only 110 volt?

    The adaptor that comes with the iPad will work with 220 v. It will auto-switch. All you will need is a wall outlet plug adaptor.
    You cannot charge the iPad from your computer's USB port.

  • When I cgarge my iPOD, can I do it overseas in a 220 volt plug as long as I have an adapter, or do I need to getb a transformer to convert the current to 120 Volts, as in USA?

    When I plug in my iPhone 3GS using the Apple plug to charge it, and I am overseas in country with current of 220 volts, do I have to use a transformer to step down the current to 120volts, or can I just use an adapter to allow the plug to fit, and charge it with 220 volt current??

    The adaptor voltage range is 90 - 240 so all you will need is an adaptor.

  • Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

    Hi all,
    Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
    I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
    From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...).  So all firewall issues and communications are fine
    Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
    FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
    Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
    No messages appear in the RWB
    Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
    Regards,
    Mike

    Thanks for your responses.
    I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
    Scenario 1
    When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg <b>/Folder/Subfolder</b> the error message is as follows
    <b>EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified</b>
    Scenario 2
    When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg <b>Folder/Subfolder</b> a different error message is returned
    <b>Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified</b>
    At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
    Questions
    I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
    I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
    The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
    I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
    To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
    Has anyone experienced these issues?
    Please advise on next course of action?
    Regards,
    Mike
