    Hello all,
    I am going to Wales in about two weeks for university and i am looking for the AC unit for the 1340

    Can any 1340 UK users please tell me which model their power brick is? or where i can buy them. In Canada we have best buy and etc. What type of big box stores sells dell accessories in the UK.

    i know nothing about voltage and all that stuff, So i am hoping someone can tell me if there is a place in Cardiff where I can buy the UK power adapter for my Studio XPS 1340

    thank you in advance

    Mine's a Part No: CM889. It's made in China. Not sure where you would buy one in Cardiff. Most likely place to buy is Dell mail order, or perhaps try e-bay?

    Most people I know who have gone to Cardiff University love both the University and Cardiff City.

    Good Luck

    Geoff

    Thank you for the help Formula400,
    I think I found what i'm looking for on dell.co.uk
    I configured a Sxps13 over there and in the printable specs it included a
    90w AC power
    Product code- 180937
    SKU- 450-12331

    Can anyone help me find this product on the dell.co.uk website? i searched the inventory along with a couple tries at good but i am rather fruitless

    Indeed, mine states it works with 100-240 V so you should just need a 3 prong adapter.

    yeah, i mentioned i know nothing about voltage conversion :s
    But I went to CAA (Canadian Automobile Association) they do all our travel stuff, and the guy told me the same thing. most new products have both voltages and i just need the plug.

    Thank you all for the help :)

    The Dell adapter will run on any voltage between 100-240V so running on the UK grid (nominally 230V) it will be fine. The cable that runs from the adapter to the socket is a generic one, not Dell specific. The one you linked looks like it should be fine but the picture is inaccurate so its hard to say for certain.
