    I just received my thinkpad T410, It was delivered from the US and the cord which comes with the adapter is for 3A 125V for the US, I'm in the Netherlands though, Do you think it'll cause problems?

    The adapter itself is compatible with 110-240V, what do you think?

    Will work fine.

    You will just need a local cable or adapter.

    Will need a power cord with an "Unpolarised C7 Line Connector". Google it.

    I wouldn't even bother with an adapter, but instead would get a replacement power cord with an EU plug. C7 is probably the most ubiquitous form factor on the planet and you should be able to get a cord at any home electronics store. Heck, I remember having a cassette recorder in the early 80s with that plug.

    if you have the "Unpolarised C7 Line Connector", then just get an European AC cable, they are very cheap.

    @ mil2: I remember those old cassette players too, lol. I'll get one with EU plug soon. For now, the plug adapter does the job

    @ Lead_Org: I'll get one for sure, you're right. I got my T410 today
