Ac Adapter

[CircusMonkey]

Ok I got a Toshiba laptop and I need a power cord from

the AC adapter to the socket.....japanese spec.

The AC adapter is universel.I just need a japanese plug with earth or maybe an adapter.....

Anyone have any tips?

I have contacted Toshiba ,but they suggest i contact a Toshiba dealer in Japan(just ****ing great).

Where do you live circus monkey? Just last week i had my PC repaired in Akihabar at the Toshiba Centre.. It was still under warranty so it was free, but they speak English there. Maybe you could pick up one from there.. Or you could just buy a cheapo radio or something with one of those Universal plugs and use that? Or just go to a travel shop or duty free and find some adaptors?

This is the AC adapter:

as you see it is a 3 pin with ground.I have one for 2 pin which do not fit.

I probaly need this:

Live in Norway.

With my Dell, the equivalent Japanese power cord did had the ground socket at the adapter end, but only a 2 pin power plug end, effectively the ground went nowhere.

For other people who have come over we have just chopped off the 3 pin Australian plug and replaced the a 2 pin Japanese plug from an Australian electronics store. Works fine.

Now all I need is a socket.
