T43 power adapter and protection from water

[one111]

Hi guys,

i have purchased my T43 2687DRU some weeks ago in US, but now i moved to Europe and i have problem with my power adapter and power cable. Electrical plugs are different here and so my question regards possible problems, if i plug adapter (i already got different plug) purchased in US into europe electrical plug. I know some description about current, there is alternative current (AC), 60 Hz and 230 V. So, may US adapter caused any problems to my notebook, or is adapter designed for this conditions, too.

And my second question is about protection of notebook. I have to use my notebook outdoors and i scare of possible damage, which may be caused by water. I`m not afraid of display (everything fits very good, without gaps), but mainly about keyboard and accessories beyond it. So, i have heared something about small water stop, which is leading away water from beneath keyboard. Is this truth?

Thanks for help, John
