Hello everyone.
I have moved from Europe to Canada recently and i took my PC with me. One day when i was playing the computer shut off, and the problem was the power supply. I thought that mine was dead, and i thought so because i used a cheap adapter from European plug to American one, so i bought a new power supply and everything is fine now.
However, my friend recently took a look at the inside of the power supply and he said that nothing seems to be defective and the power supply might actually work. So here is my question - If i buy a power cable with american plug, assuming that the power supply isn't dead, will it work? The power supply input current is rated at 230Vac, and i assume that lower input current of 110 in Canada will be no problem?
