My client took his Gateway M-152S laptop to Ireland. He plugged his laptop power adapter into what looked like a 120 VAC outlet. It wasn’t. It was 240 VAC. He thinks “he fried it.”
My questions are, 1)would the AC adapter blow first? 2)would the laptop battery act as a buffer long enough to protect the laptop itself from damage? 3)if neither of the above, would the hard drive possibly survive? Apart from buying a new adapter to see if the battery is OK and a new battery to find out if the laptop is OK, what other steps could I take?
Any help would be appreciated.
