Voltage converters/AC/DC Combo Adapter

Hi folks,
I need a converter/AC/DC adapter for my X61 to convert from 110 to 220 volts.
What came with my laptop was an AC adapter that says 65W 20V
Will that work in Grenada (Caribbean) and South America?
Also, would the 90 W slim AC/DC Combo adapter with a Blackberry tip from Lenovo work in a 220V country?
If neither one will work, can you tell me what I need to purchase?
I don't know anything about this conversion stuff so all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Belize Me

If this is a Lenovo X61 power adapter it should say "INPUT: 100-240V~" in the small print under where it says "65W 20V" i.e. you do not need a CONVERTER, but you will need a plug ADAPTER, since the power plugs are different shapes.
Here is a nice Wiki with a map showing what you need in each country.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

We are going to Great Britain this summer. Do we need voltage converters as we'll plug adapters for our iPads (one is 2nd generation and one 4th)

We are going o Great Britain this summer. Do we need voltage converters as well as plug adapters for our iPads (one is 2nd generation and one 4th)

No. Since Apple power converter work from 110 to 240 volts, no power converter is reguired.
You will need a pin adaprt. I have found my local Ace hardware store to have the best deal on them.

Spare tips for Lenovo 90W AC/DC Combo Adapter

Just got the Combo Adapter, and wanted to order a spare tip to charge my Motorola cell phone with it. Dumb question - will the spare tip plug into the power cord of the adapter, or do you have to use the dual-charge cable for the tip to work? I rarely charge two items at once, and would prefer to not travel with an extra cord.

yes it works with the T510.

AC/DC Combo adapter failure/short

I bought the thin AC/DC combo adapter with my ThinkPad, and at first it seemed to work, but it quickly became clear that it had a short that would cause it to intermittently fail. I've isolated it to the point the cable exits the brick.
I first noticed the problem about 8 months ago, but sat on it too long and inadvertantly let the one-year anniversary of my laptop purchase expire. The product was barely used, and it has failed to work as advertised, so I would hope Lenovo will offer to replace it, even if the warranty period has technically expired.
But I can't figure out how (other than through the forums) to contact someone at Lenovo to find out whether you will honor this.
Help?

As far as I've seen, you can't. The product is no longer in warrenty, and unless they modify the warentee (as they've sometimes done on faulty batteries) or issue a recall, there's not really much you can probably do. I've had nothing but problems with mine, and it is doing the same as yours just after the warentee period is up (I fried two of the DC plugs in the warentee period.) You're not the only one in the situation, but you probably will be stuck there until you buy a new one.

90W Ultraslim AC/DC Combo Adapter Making Clicking Noise

Hi. I have a brand new T420s with the 90W Ultraslim AC/DC combo adapter. When I have it plugged into the system it makes a clicking noise. When I unplug it from the T420s it has a very faint, high pitched humming noise. Is this normal?
Thanks!

no it is not normal. Call warranty for replacement.

Lenovo AC/DC combo adapter fuse

I am looking for a supplier of the fuses inside the cigarette lighter plug. Any ideas?

These are pretty standard, go to your nearest hardware store and they will have it. Bring the broken fuse along, so they can match the correct one.

Step-down voltage converter or traval adapters?

Hi,
I am studying in Ireland with my iBook that I bought in the US - as well as a few other US electrical appliances. I have been using step-down voltage converters, but having problems. I just discovered today that I was using too many watts for the converter (the power adapter for the iBook uses 45 watts, and the converter suggests a max of 30 watts) but I am still not sure if that is why the converters keep breaking. The fuse seems to be fine (why I don't think the watts are the problem) and the first two converters broke after being used for a few months (but within a few days or hours of being used with a computer for the first time). So I was still of the conclusion that the converters were just going bad on their own - not built to last so long.
Tonight I plugged my iBook in with a third, brand new converter and was part way through charging it up when the light on the charger went from amber to green and then off. Now this third converter does not seem to work anymore - and the fuse seems fine.
So at this point I'm pretty sure it does have something to do with the computer - but am not really sure how to proceed. Has anyone else experienced similar difficulties? I see that Apple offers a set of Travel Adapters. Do you recommend them? Might this be the simples solution to these problems with the converters?

Hi Oona,
All Macs (except rev.A G5 iMacs and eMacs) have dual voltage/frequency PSU, and can be plugged anywhere in the world with no problem.
> You don't need any step-down voltage converter for your iBook.
You just have to find a plug adapter or an Irish cord or power adapter (btw you can use the 65W too). Apple's Travel Adapter is fine, but you can find cheaper in Ireland, unless you need a model that you can use everywhere in the world?
See this document
- World Power Differences Can Limit International Product Use (KB #129)
and check your other electrical appliances.
The electrical info is printed somewhere: do not use the converter with the dual-voltage/frequency ones.

Going Abroad - Question About Voltage Converter Stuff

Hello, so I am going abroad for a few months (the Netherlands), and I have a question about voltage converter stuff. All of the voltage converters I can find say powers heat-producing appliances rated 500-1600 and converts foreign voltage of 220-240 volts to U.S. voltage 110-120. However, it says not to use on appliances under 500 watts such as computers. So first, off does anyone know how many watts an ibook g4 14" puts off. Secondly, I read that laptops have a dual adapter and that they can work on the 220-240 volts converter. Does anyone have any ideas about these issues; any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Brandon,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Your iBook's power adapter is rated for 100-240v. All you need is an adapter for the plug so it will fit in a European outlet. You can find them at travel stores or online for a few dollars.

Is Voltage Converter Necessary when charging iPhone 3GS in Amsterdam

I posted this question before and was told that all I needed to charge my iPhone in The Netherlands was a 2 prong plug converter (round pins) to convert my current plug to theirs. Apple sells a set for lots of countries, but I already have one for Netherlands. Discussions here said, just use the plug converter. Then I called Apple and they me that I also need to use a voltage converter in addition to the plug converter. I know USA voltage is 120 and Netherlands in 220 or 230. Will my phone burn out without a voltage converter? Apple says it might, yet they don't sell the voltage converters to go with the plugs they sell. They suggest Radio Shack, etc. What voltages will my iPhone handle? I don't want to buy another piece to carry over there if not needed. I keep getting different answers, even from Apple techs. Who knows for sure? Thanks for help.

look on the actual adapter itself and in very hard to read writing it will say the voltage range inputs of the charger.
Its not about what we say, its about what it says on your device. Our Euro/UK ones got from 1110 to 230 but thats means nothing as yours are whatever they say on the charger.
Buy a Euro standard charger at the airport on the arrivals side - probably only $10.

Do I need an adapter or a volt converter 220 to 110v for my ipod touch 2nd gen.

I have and ipod touch 20nd gen and an ipod shuffle 4th gen. I live in Colombia where we have 110 v and I am traveling to Argentina where they have 220 v. I've been reading that i may not need a power or voltage converter but just an adapter, because the charger might already be dual (for 110 and 220) or is it the ipod itself. Is this standard for all apple chargers because i have some really old ones (5 years) and a new one.I also have a Belkin power charger for them.

No. The power brick for the iPod senses the voltage and adjusts for the different ones.
You will need an adapter to switch form flat us pins tot the round pins used on their plugs.

Voltage/Powersupply for AirPort Express and Apple tv

Hi,
Just bought the items airport express and Apple tv in the US to take home and to Norway. The voltage there is 220v and the pins are different.
Should I return the items, or can this be easilly fixed?

The products will work automatically from 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz.
But, you will probably need some adapters (not voltage converters) for the pins.
