IO wall wart at 230V - How to modify it?
Will it work at 230V or not?

Hi Everyone,

I am planning to give an IO to someone in my family, who is in Europe. I would like to know whether the stock IO power supply/wallwart will work without internal modifications. I mean the electronics inside. I can use a simple plug converter for the external plugs. Basically, the question is: is it an "auto-sensing" 110/230V supply, or a 110V only? TIA

George

The one I have is NOT autosensing! Most I believe are the same? A auto sensing unit will have 110-240 VAC on the label
My i-O walwart has 110-120VAC @ 50-60HZ input 19VDC @ 1.84Amp output.
You will need to obtain a autosensing Laptop powersupply and plug adapter @ 19VDC "1.84 amp output minimum", European voltage converter or European walwart.
I do NOT recommend modifying your original i-O powersupply unless you are an EXPERT and know exactly what you are doing. Potential Fire hazard!
My .02 cents worth...

Here something like this should work for you with the right AC plug adapter.
