Thanks Jim.
Normally, I would not hesitate. In this case, however, there is no visible
switch on the adapter(transformer) and it makes me wonder how the vendor can
build one that will supposedly 'automatically switch voltage (110 to 240) and
frequency (50-60). From the feedback so far, I am becoming exceedingly
hesitant to try, in case i lose the laptop.
