Can the ground prong of say a normal USA made laptop adapter fit in the ground socket provided? I've seen some that only hot &amp; neutral fits.

If you're asking what I think you're asking, then it's a yes. The adapter (3 prong) for a Macbook Pro fits into it.

It is only for 2 prong plugs - no ground. I bought it for my TV purchased in Germany. I believe the Asian plugs are different.

The text on the adapter is: P/N DC359A 18.5V 3.5A output 100-240V 1.8A-0.6A input Fits: HP Pavilion dv1000 dv4000 dv5000 dv6000. Laptop end power is Center positive 4.75mm OD x 1.75 ID. I ordered two of these so I could leave them installed in different houses. I received two different ones... One works fine (text above) the other one failed after a few weeks.

You can use a converter if you don't need it. I used one for my Dell computer and it worked fine.I had two prong adapters, but the brick had a three prong cord. I got that adapter and it works fine, too.

It sounds like your electrical outlets are the un-grounded type (both slots the same size). You can purchase an adapter at a hardware store, probably less than $1.00.

We purchased this adapter for a customer because it was listed as compatible for his notebook. There are many adapters which are fully compatible but may not necessarily be created by the original manufacturer or to the original manufacturer's specifications. To date, we have no negative feedback on this adapter. I am unable to give you a definitive answer of yes or no. Doing research for voltage, amperage, and wattage that is compatible is always your best bet. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck to you.Jerry

I am not sure what you mean.... Where will you be using it? Usually you will need a different plug because the shape of the prongs is different but adaptors are not needed...

An easy way to check is too look at the input and output voltage and amps on your original adapter. As long as they match the specs given for this adapter, and as long as the computer side plug looks the same in the picture as it does on your original adapter, then all is well. Also, I'm pretty sure they have a fairly exhaustive compatibility list for this item.

The adapter I have shows input 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. It has the standard 2 prong plug (no ground). You should be good to go.

The power plug has a 2 prong adapter. The base with the prongs is about 1 1/4 " wide.It looks just like the following picture: http://www.tenspros.com/assets/images/acadapter.jpg

Just to be clear on the other answers: When plugged in, use of the second wall outlet is inhibited depending on what size plug has your second device. If you want to use the Monster in one slot and insert a standard 3-prong into the second wall outlet, such as an HP laptop charger cable, it will NOT fit. However, if your second plug-in is a regular 2-prong (without the ground), it will fit perfectly. It is the ground hole on the second outlet that is the problem. With that said, this is my experience from the Monster I purchased over a year ago. Perhaps they've slightly retooled the design to allow both as it doesn't fit in a matter of millimeters.

I could not plug into the transformer at all. The USA plug side had equal sized openings vs. having one side bigger than the other (to accommodate grounded plugs). So it didn't work at all for me.

This plug definitely fits a US outlet. The prongs are rather pliable though. It worked great as a backdrop on stage for my wedding.

Like W. S. said, this is not correct. To make sure if this adapter is compatible with the laptop or not, please let us know your laptop model, original adapter part number as well as the power specification (volt, ampere). Please feel free to contact us via support@ianker.com, we will always be here to assist you.

I bought it standard US plugs. My guess is no from experience traveling there with electronics.

It's a regular household non grounded 2 prong plug.. I would think you could get a 3 prong grounded adapter for about a dollar at any hardware store(Homedepot Lowes..

If you have to ask this question, don't buy it. You should search for a power adapter based on your laptop's make and model. This way, you're sure to get the right adapter.
