hi there...
Not sure how comfortable are you with doing this ......

if the PLUGS are " TYPE I " as shown in this link below.......
http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/ ... tm#plugs_c

SInce most of the IBM Power Adaptor's are ALREADY 110-240volts capable...Would suggest to do this ,,,,,,,,,,(this is what I do when in Rio etc Argentina).....

I bend the plugs (the metal parts at the end of (current usa plugs) to an angle that fits the TYPE I sicket - just do tha gently and slowly!

It works nicely an never has ever had a problems for my laptop(s)

BUT i would get your sister to take the 'plug' of the cord to any electrical store and they would be able to give her a "P18" cord that would plug straight back where the other 'use cord' came out off ...

Cheers..

AC cord to use in Argentina

Basically all your sister would need is a plug adapter that can be bought locally. I don’t think it should cost more than $1.00.

They’re also available online and prices vary wildly:

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thank you I order a adapter.
But if it was me I will do what ausmike did that sound like fun.
RealBlackStuff I did see your respond.
And yes maybe there the plug if even cheaper I only want for her to plug and play.
