I would like to change the power source of my computer which the rating of power is 220v-240v, 2A, 50HZ for a new one that works with 110v. What power source should I buy.

Thanks

Yes it's this one. I don't find any information. As you can see, I'm french and all IT products are normally multi votage.

To be sure, I advise you to contact the french support (very friendly) by tchat or by email. You'll have the right information relative your case.

I wish you a good journey home.

Hello,

 

You don't need to change the PSU. This one is multi voltage: 100-127/220-240VAC.

To confirm:

Could you give me the brand and the part number (P/N) of you Power Supply Unit?

Hello,

Thanks for answering, the thing is that I have just bought the tower and I have not even tested it, so it would not be adviceable to break the back seal at least for the moment. I think I made a mistake writing 33 A in the tittle of the message because that is what is written on the fan of the PSU, but on the case it is written (rating 220v-240v, 2A,50HZ). So I am affraid it be the only voltage that make it work because at home we just have 110v. If any ideas come up I would appreciate it.

In which country do you live?

Now I am in France where it works but I will be going back to Cuba where it is not the same.

Could you give me the first ten characters of the computer serial number (S/N)? Only the first ten.

Ok, thanks for your help.

Hello,

 

May be I found the information: See the attachment (backsides of Aspire XC-605).

On the left of the picture, your desktop hasn't a voltage selector.

On the right of the picture, another Aspire XC-605 model with a multi voltage PSU.

Wait the Acer support answer and if you have to replace the PSU, I'll give you the part numbers corresponding.

Every time I try to contact the support I cannot reach them. I went to the store today and they could not give me a solution either and yes, that is the back part of my pc. What do you have in mind? I have a friend in the States who is about to buy me a new power source, she just needs which one to buy, if you have an idea, just let me know.

Thanks

Thanks one more time for your assistance. One more question, Do I have to change the fan too or it is ok with the same one?

laurent_14

Hello,

 

I suppose you talk about the cpu fan. You don't need to change it. It's powered by the motherboard in 12VDC (PSU).

Note:

PSU=Power Supply Unit

rey

I am sorry, I am new on it, now I supose that the PSU comes with its own fan

laurent_14

You have no fans to change. (simpler)

Thanks for your time and help.
