What do I need in order to use my UK-bought Acer 5536 laptop in Japan?

  • Answer:

    Check the label on the power module "brick" that was supplied with your Acer to see what voltage input range it will accept. Generally speaking, the power supplies nowadays have "universal input" such that it will accept an input voltage from 90 VAC to 240 VAC. If that's the case on your power module, you should only need a suitable input cord that is compatible with the Japanese power system. Normal line voltage in Japan is 100 VAC at 60 Hertz frequency.
