my girlie has bought a dell laptop whilst over in England,it therefore has an English 3 pin plug on the charger lead,she needs a euro(3 round pins) plug at one end and other end that fits a dell inspiron 1525 charger the other end.
i cant read any foreign languages and she is more of a computer numptie than me so can anyone find one and send me the link?cheers peeps

Why not just buy a UK to euro adaptor and post it over or if its on the end of a lead cut it of and fit a euro plug .
Cheers,
Bob

did suggest the adapter....you know what women are like

don't know if this would do the trick but it's the same fitting as the power lead for my vostro 1500. just change the power lead that runs to the transformer if it's the business power supply.

europe uses the same voltage as us (in all countries i think, check first)

sooo, i'm sure she could find someone to cut the plug off and fit a new plug

Difficult to say with the small pic, but that looks like an american plug with 2 flat and one round earth pin

Most European plugs are like this -

ie the earth pin is actually on the socket, not the plug.

Saying that, I found in Moscow that some hotels used old UK 15A and 5A round pin fittings
