You can still use that converter but a simple £2  adapter will do the job too

 

It's the bit that Say's Input : 100-240V that we were looking for.

Okey dokey can wrap them at last lol phew!

The converter is a complete waste of money, make up your own mind what to do with it.

So I just need a ordinary adapter like a Holliday one instead bro!

OK, it's safe with a simple adaptor, you don't need a voltage converter.

The converter came today in post

I kneed to know weather to wrap it up or not lol :-S

OK, it's safe with a simple adaptor, you don't need a voltage converter.

Will it still work with the converter?

I've already ordered one lol

It says

Switching power supply

Model - TLO1C - 050100U

Input : 100-240V-50/60Hz 0. 32A MAX

Output : 5V - 1000mA

That's what the two pin plug for interactive helecopter says on it

If that's what you need?

they sell them ones at computer shows and you can use any 4 gang that as surge protectsion

 

have a look at this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Surge-Master-1-Way-Cube/dp/B0001GYNJC/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385775063&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=surge+protectsion

 

or the is this 4 gang one

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-SurgeMaster-4-Way-1m-Cable/dp/B00009RIP3/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1385775170&sr=8-25&keywords=gang+plug

 

you will still need the converter/adapter.

So I would still need a serge protector with this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171177943844?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

id just get him to buy his own plug

Lol don't be mean pmsl

When you do the first charge use a surge protector if you can a lot of 4 gang plugs have this now

better the surge protector go than the home Circuit Breaker or [/size]fuse box

The trouble with that item is it's not in the UK cobra :-(

That would cost me around £50 and it's £50 I can't really afford

I'm hoping the one I listed at start from the UK will work?

I've posted the manual for the wi spi hoping anybody can find what's needed for voltage requirements for changing it to work in the UK

I have to get ASAP and if I have to buy over seas at the USA it's going to take weeks to post off to me so may not get here for Xmas

Here's the instructions for it if any help?

http://www.interactivetoy.com/manuals/WiFli_AC-eng.pdf

Even though on box it's listed as a wi spi not a wi fi this is the manual that's in the box

I've gotta order the thing to power it up in the UK tomorrow at the latest as time is ticking on :-/

I'd say the converter is the better option, considering the device will be using a 110 Volts. Where with the adapter, i feel you could be taking a bit of a gamble with our 220/240 volt system.

 

As you don't want a dissapointing Xmas over a couple of quid more, seing that you've already stepped intil the unusal realm already...

:-)

The is this

 

http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Power-Strip-Outlets-Protector/dp/B00B7NE91U/ref=pd_sim_e_4

 

and yes that is a Circuit Breaker so you will not be blowing it up.[/size]

Think I'm Gonna go with the step down converter one as only need the one ;-)

Plus the one in the UK will only cost me 24.00 including postage

If I buy from over seas it will be around £30 just for postage

I've been told it has to be a grounded one it's different from a usual one you can buy anywhere in UK

I don't know anything about electrics lol that's why I asked in here lol

If I get the wrong one I'd blow it sky high and it would be a very expensive orniment

Unsure if I put in correct area if I haven't please feel free to move

I've bought this http://www.amazon.com/Interactive-Toy-Concept-Spi-Helicopter/dp/B008BY1S62/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385466749&sr=8-1&keywords=wi-spi+helicopter

As a Christmas pressent but it's got the USA plug

The two prongs with little bumps on them

I need to find a adapter either like this

http://www.amazon.com/Ceptics-Grounded-Universal-Plug-Adapter/dp/B0080R95XI/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_3

Or like this

http://www.beststuff.co.uk/store/HQ-100-Watt-Step-Down-Voltage-Converter.htm

But I'm not sure which one is the best one for it?

The step down is available in the uk so not to bad money wise but the grounded adapter I can't seem to find in the uk only USA and it's £5.00 plus £30.00 shipping just for a plug :-(

I know some of you in here are from the USA or have products from there and live in the UK so I'm asking for your help?

I need to get ASAP as like I said its for Christmas

And if I got to buy from the USA it's gotta be sooner rather than later

I'm shocked to hear of milkys passing

R.I.P. Milky you were always ploight to me when we spoke in here & you will be missed by all

All1

where will the exchange be?

it doesnt say any exchange

OK what exchange are you on?

 

All1

Um pass?

How would i find that out?

Given your line is with Sky why not look at Sky as well i know they do offer a true unlimited deal, don't forget to sign up via quidco or topcashback and get some money back, you get money back for nothing, i done this with Sky the other day and a whole years viewing will only set me back £60 plus I get to keep the sky+ box (which i'm sure i can sell for a few quid then i have my dish quad LNB which will take my freesat PVR when Sky is finished with, as i say it's money for nothing so you may as well get something back for moving ISP's

Sky isnt sadly unlimited for me id have to pay £17 odd a month for a capped usage because they havent alocated it for our town yet :-(

I am currantly with BT

But!!!!

I was paying them £20.60 pm then they decided to up it to £21.00 pm in jan

Now there demanding i pay them £41.50 pm!

They say my bill for the 4 months is £84.91 but demand that i start paying them £41.50 from the 15th of may a hike up of £20.50 for broadband costing only £21.60 pm!

They say they have upped my payments because my broadband from 23rd May my contract ends so payments will go back upto £24.70 pm & with regards to my bb direct debit payments have been asked to be incresed to £41.50 because on my bill there is £3.60 left over from my previous bill & a £10.00 charge because a dd bounced because BT tried to take it 2 days early so money wasnt in account!

The whole point of Monthly Payment Plan is that the 3 payments you make each quater should clear the bill by the date the next bill is produced which is 27th July

£41.50 x 3 isnt £84.91 its £124.50 which is £39.59 Over the bill

Also july 27th is 4 months away so i will have paid them £166.04 so £81.91 over what my bill is

So ive asked them for my MAC code which they have gave me

BUT

I have to pay BT £30.00 for having it!

Even though my contract ends May 23rd

So im now looking for another supplier for my broadband

It has to be Unlimited like what i currently have with BT

My phoneline isnt with BT its with Sky because BT kept hiking up my prices even though i wasnt using my phone because i have my mobile contract with orange

Ive looked into Orange which says its only £5.00 for unlimited for orange customers but upon asking they say its £23.50 for just there broadband but if i change my supplier for phone it will be £18.50 :-/

A lot of ppl swear by them but im asking you what you think?

My youngest bro swears by Squak Squak but i have loads of friends who have left them because there not very good for signal & there call centers are in India so you get ppl who you either can not understand or they can not understand you LOL

Soooooo

I need the help of my fellow friends in Jamers Pad

Who is the Best broadband Only provider????

Dammit!

 

I told the customs at the Swedish end of the bridge to look out for an obscure englishman in a van, but obviously they didn't listen :Smiler:

:Surprise: :Laugh:

Ive tried & tried & tried again to NOT fill that ruddy crap in

The ruddy council send some woman who bangs on the door like some ruddy bailiff!

I soooo want that track you keep a knocking but you cant come in!

I would put it on my hifi and ignore the ruddy woman!

I don't vote

Ive never voted

I'll never vote

So why waste my pen filling some crap form like that in and then have junk male shoved through my door to vote for tom dick or harry!

NO THANK YOU!
