Oz laptop, Irish power - KABLAMO?

08-03-2013 7:37pm#1I have a HP laptop that was bought in Australia and I want to buy a power cable and charger for it with an Irish plug.
I've checked online for voltage/power comparison for here and Oz and it seems they are the same apart from the plug type.
I'd just like to know if anyone has done this before I buy it, plug it in and watch my laptop go *BANG*
WIKIAll of Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and most of South America use a supply that is within 6% of 230 V, whereas Japan, Taiwan, North America and some parts of northern South America use a voltage between 100 and 127 V. The 230 V standard has become widespread so that 230 V equipment can be used in most parts of the world with the aid of an adapter or a change to the equipment's connection plug for the specific country.0

Laptops are expected to be used worldwide so they almost always use multivoltage (100-230V) AC adapters. Your power cable probably connects to the AC adapter using a figure of eight or clover leaf connector, you can buy a suitable power cable with a 13 amp three pin plug in any PC or most electrical shops or just use a travel adapter.
One of these is what you need...
