Samsung N140 notebook voltage help

[hannah44077]

Hello!
I've phoned Samsung and they weren't very helpful, so I'm posting here in the hopes that someone will have an answer to my question!

I have a Samsung N140 notebook bought in England. However, I'm going to Japan soon, and while I know that different plugs are used in Japan, I believe the voltage over there is 100V. Provided I get an adaptor that allows me to use a Japanese plug socket, would it be possible for me to use the notebook over there? According to the writing on the power cable, it says "Input: 100-240V" - does this mean that it will function with 100V?

Apologies if there's an obvious answer to the question- I'm not very tech-savvy! Thanks

usually when you buy stuff from abroad and bring it into the UK you require a step down adapter. I cant see why it would not work there.

However I would recommend you seek a professional opinion in regards to this matter as am not sure either if it would work there.

if your power supply says 100-240 input then 110v input should be fine .

globalism is true , we live in a small world so products are made to be universal . although some companies do try to be regional .
