Miaow Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi guys, I will be bringing my Xbox One S to Thailand. Not sure if i will need a voltage converter or not for it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Are you coming from a country that has 220 or 110 Volts as the standard ? Have you looked at the label near the plug to determine what the voltage requierment is ? Here is what Microsoft has to say about Power Supply Units (also known as power bricks) Quote PSUs are designed to be used only in the regions where they are sold. Don't try to use an Xbox One PSU that was built for a region that has different power requirements. Don't use an unlicensed accessory, such as a non-Microsoft replacement PSU, or any accessory that plugs in between the console and the PSU. Don't use the Xbox One external PSU outside the country where it was sold. If you use the PSU in a different country, it or your console may be damaged, and the warranty may be invalidated. The Xbox One PSU contains an internal fuse that helps protect your console from voltages that are too high and power surges. However, the PSU is a sealed unit. Therefore, you can’t replace the internal fuse. source:http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/about-power-supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 My Xbox One S, bought here, shows a voltage requirement of 110-240v so presumably it can be used anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Our OP appears to be in Canada, so he will need a transformer or a local Xbox power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user82374298374 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 You should take the opportunity to ditch the XBone and switch over to the PS4 Pro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP: read the specs on your power supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP: read the specs on your power supply Good point, but an awful lot of stuff intended for the North American market has 115V only power supplies whereas the same product for Rest of the World has a universal power supply. The saving of a few cents per unit adds up. It won't hurt to use a transformer on a universal power supply, it will hurt (a lot) to not use one if the power supply is 115V only.

Crossy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 @camsouth what does your power brick say regarding input voltage? Is it 110-120V or something like 90-250V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miaow Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks for the replies guys, i appreciate your input...Sorry i been swamped at work and totally forgot about my post here..Anyways, won't be bringing my xbox to Thailand since all the games i own are digital and acording to microsoft i won't be able to play them here, because the license for digital games is only valid in the country of purchase...
