Hi ! I had my OEM charger stolen, and this seems to come without an adaptor to fit in the power plug. Does it? If not, where could I find one for UK?

Hello. You are right, the charger comes without an adaptor to fit in the power plug... It fits the USA's electric standard. I think you can check in ebay to get the adapter, for example, something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Canada-Europe-ALL-Travel-to-UK-Hong-Kong-electrical-Plug-adapter-/141021285611?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item20d5860ceb

power cords like all made in USA electronics will need a UK adapter. The cable to connect to your computer is what it is and is universal USB connector. Don't see the problem?.

If you can match the barrel plug connector's size and polarity, you could probably find a replacement. It looks to be a standardized plug size, but it's deeply recessed in the charger pad so there may be some issues getting it to fit properly. The included charger does not specify polarity of the plug, but the output is 12v at .75 amps. It does say it accepts up to 220v so if you could source a UK to US plug adapter, you could plug the included charging cable up to that.

From the picture, it looks like a Nokia charger plug. If there's a Radio shack in your area they probably have a large assortment of charger tip adapters (typically there's a number of dummy charger tips on a ring so you can just try likely looking ones).Downside is that this isn't going to be a lot cheaper than just buying a new unit.If you go to rat shack and find the one that fits, could you answer your own question so other folks'll know?

Try ebay. I returned this charger for the same reason. They will not warranty it if you change the plug. Best to just buy the right charger.

If you order the unit from Amazon.com, then the charger will only operate on 110VAC. If you order it from Amazon.co.uk, then the charger will only work on 220VAC. I think this is really silly, and is obviously a marketing issue rather than a technical one. The power supply should be a universal one, operating on 110-240V, like the ones used on most electrical equipment these days.

The one I purchased is US. Not sure if there is a UK plug version or adapter, sorry.

The supplier has sent you a unit with a European plug in error! Same thing happened to me. As I travel to Europe, I already had a foreign adapter. I would send unit back. Failing that you will have to spend $6-$10 for travel adapter.

The charger has a standard American oulet. You might could use one of those expensive adapters--you don't have to recharge very often.

Hello! You do need to buy the UK Adapter. The plug ins are your standard 2-prongs on this set. I hope this helps!

Model STA-P52WD S/N 071111DH18768 Travel adaptor. I liked seeing the other answer also because I used to have a charger that didn't look quite like this travel adaptor and I liked knowing the number of the other one. (Also I'm thinking that I don't need that long S/N number to describe this little piece of equipment.)

I just stumbled upon this post while searching unsuccessfully for just such an adapter. Can you possibly tell me where you were able to find this adapter online? THANK YOU!

I believe your charger will work fine, but you will need to purchase this adapter from the maker of the charger (GPMM3131) .btw it has 8cells and make sure to check the date of manufacture is with in the last 6 months. If its not get your money back!

Yes. I have used the charger in both the UK and USA. It will work if you have the plug adapter.

The charger comes with an interchangeable universal voltage adapter which can slide out and be replaced by a regional adaptor. You will need to purchase the regional slider separately,

Yes this is only a stand that your original-sony-proprietary-4-pin-$70-new-can't-get-any-cheaper power cable plugs into. If yours is broken then this won't help. You're only solution is to buy a new charger.

My experience is get the least expensive one. They do about the same thing-I have had multiple versions of the original, but all my chargers fit it. Otherwise I would just get a new one.
