HP Pavilion x360 13u163
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Good afternoon, 

 

I just bought an HP Pavilion x360 two months ago in the US, but am currently residing abroad where the voltage is 220V and have been using a simple outlet adapter (not voltage adapter). 

 

I was told verbally from the vendor that the power supply is safe to plug into a 220V outlet, however I have noticed the power supply box getting quite warm when charging. The adapter box of the power supply says it is compatable for 100-240V. However, the actual cord says "JET 125V-7A LS-15 LINETEK E70782"

 

Will plugging this power supply into a 220V outlet harm my computer or the power supply? Do I need to use a voltage adapter? Do I need to purchase another cord for the wall to then plug into the power supply box?

 

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from someone at HP soon.

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

 

As I understand you need information on using the adapter on alternate power source,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you check your user guide for details?

 

 

While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:

 

Wikipedia has some pretty extensive information about power standards around the world. According to this information, the Philippines uses types A, B, and C plugs:

Type A Plug Type B Plug Type C Plug

However, it operates at 220V, 60Hz. The US uses 120V 60Hz. So while your US plugs (Type A & B) will physically fit into the sockets in the Philippines, you need to be sure your devices are electronically compatible with 220V.

 

Most modern electronics (laptops, for instance) have auto-sensing power supplies, which accept 110V-240V, and adjust accordingly. Here's an image of my laptop power supply, with the relevant info circled (Which reads INPUT: 100-240V~1.5A 50-60Hz😞

 

If it's mentioned on the adapter, you should have no trouble using the same adapter on your current location as well.

 

Keep me posted,

If the information I've provided was helpful,
