Laptop used in Europe now experiencing problem.?
Laptop used in Europe now experiencing problem.?
I just got off the phone with one of my friends who was on a trip to Europe. He had the power adapter and when he plugged the laptop in he experienced a spark. Now, whenever he tries to boot his computer he experiences a blue screen very briefly then the computer restarts.The boot process gets to the point where there is the windows logo with the loading bar beneath, then the BSOD appears for just milliseconds. What would be some probable causes of the problem? How could I go about fixing those problems? "The boot process gets to the point where there is the windows logo with the loading bar beneath, then the BSOD appears for just milliseconds." If the boot process gets that far, wouldn't the motherboard have to be working?? I kinda guessed that if I just re-installed my operating system, or did a OS repair I should be good.

Answer 1 :
in Europe the default output voltage for home use is 220 or 230V, if the power adaptor didn't support this voltage or it had no switch for selecting input voltage 110/230 then I'm afraid it fried the laptop's motherboard. Later edit: Did your friend tried to start the laptop just on batteries (without being plugged), hopefully only the power adaptor is fried and that may cause the problem. Just a guess.

Yes you should. I would just to be safe, but most likely you will need one.
Answer 2 :
yes you will need a set of plugs and possibly a voltage converter I have tried to help you by answering your question, now it's your turn to help...

Answer 3 :
In my experience you wont have to worry about a transformer. However that doesn't mean you should just try to plug your laptop right away. Check the power supply of your compter's plug on it there should be a sticker with a bunch of writing. If you see "INPUT 100-240V" that means you can plug your computer in with just a simple plug adaptor like this one http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?&storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&partNumber=575638&cm_mmc=GoogleBase-_-Shopping-_-Technology_%253E_Batteries_-_-575638-AC5&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=575638 However if it is only marked for 100-120 then you'll have to look into getting a transformer as well since you're going to an area that uses 220 voltage which should be something like this or even larger. (we had some in germany that were like cinderblocks good thing they were cheap) http://www.international-electrical-supplies.com/international-voltage-converters.html But from what I've seen on most laptops you'll only need the simple plug adaptor so if you got a US plug it can fit into the european round styled. http://concierge.typepad.com/cntraveler__80days/images/2007/05/10/plug.jpg Hope this helps and that you'll have a good time over there.
