Voltage converter or transformer for UK laptop in Ecuador?
On 22nd August, I'm going out to Ecuador and am considering taking my laptop with me. As in the UK we use 220-240 v and in Ecuador they use 127 v , I've heard I need some kind of voltage converter or transformer. Does anyone have any tips? Can I buy these at Argos? I can't seem to find any on their website. Thanks so much! Oh you're right! I just looked and it even says that on my laptop. Thanks! :)

Answer 1 :
Your laptop power adaptor is auto sensing 100 - 240 volts AC, 50 / 60 Hz so there is no worry on account of voltage & herz differences laptops are meant for operating globally Only issue you will face is the plug / socket in all probability will be shaped different You need a simple wall plug adapter, best bought in country you are visiting viz. Ecuador Many shops at the airport itself will be stocking it, else shops in city will sell it for cheaper
