You don't say whether the transformer has a switch or setting to change it from 110 to 240v... How about the Plug? If you are now plugging it in to a 110 socket then you will definitely need a converter.. Your Laptop will end up like a lot of American Hairdryers do...."Burned up". My recent European trip made me a firm beliver in converters.... My wife lost a Hairdryer and a Curling Iron to the 240 voltage. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dharam Bhardwaj" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 5:23 PM Subject: [PCBUILD] Notebook on 240v > Hello, I posted this a week ago and did not get any responses.
