I will be traveling to Europe soon and want to know if my power adapter will take 220V input.  I have looked closely at the power brick and see nothing which indicates the acceptable input voltages. There is a block of information on the left side which is so small it is totally unreadable. i would hate to haul my laptop to Europe and fry it because the power adapter can not handle 220V.

The power adapter CT # is WDUUV0B3U8QKHN

Normal AC adapters (or chargers) for laptops/notebooks now can be used on household electricity around the world. This has been around from the last century. All you need is a tourist adapter, you can find them from many good tourist shops and airports.

 

I don't know what EXACTLY is your machine, your AC adapter should be 45W or 65W, both of them are for 110V-240V. You should see information on its label.

Thanks, BH, for your reply. I thought this was the case but couldn't see the input voltage listed on the brick. There is a lot of information on the left side but it is so small that it is unreadable.

I finally took a picture of the brick and significantly enlarged it on my PC. It was blurry but I was finally able to see the input voltage as 100-240V at 50-60 Hz.
