RonStewart Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 A friend is shortly leaving for Slovakia, and we are going to give her a digital photo frame as a souvenir. The one we bought is a Sony. Its AC adapter is rated for 100-240V, 50/60Hz. It has a very cool feature: you push a button and the North American standard 2-prong plug snaps off. Obviously, there are European plugs that would snap in place, but I have no idea where to find one. I am usually pretty good with Google, but not this time. Any clues? BTW, the adapter model is AC-P5V1. Link to comment
enfoman Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I don't know if what I am directing you to is what you are looking for, but Allied has just about anything you would what and they reference other choices on that page. good luck!

szurszewski Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I don't have a picture of it handy, but I believe what the OP is talking about is not an adapter that you would plug into, but rather a replacement of the plugs on the ac/dc adapter for the device (frame, in this case). That is to say, the powerbrick for the frame is modular in that you can just pop the prongs that plug into a wall outlet right off...and he is trying to find the prong piece in the appropriate european flavor. I've noticed this on a number of recent electronic purchases including two external hard drives (one from LaCie even came with three different sets of prongs) and the Sena bluetooth headset/intercom system (though that just came with the north american prongs). I tried googling for replacement prongs and also had no luck (just found a bunch of universal type adapters and sets of prongs to go with Apple power bricks). Link to comment
RonStewart Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thanks enfoman, but szurszewski is right. And,szurszewski, thanks for trying. Seems to me that the whole industry could increase margins by adopting a single standard for this, but of course Sony hates doing that. Link to comment
