USA power supply for UK Mesh PC
I've just moved to the USA from UK with a 2005 Mesh Media Centre PC thinking I could switch the PSU to US voltage, but the PSU a HEC-550TD-PTE doesn't seem to have a switch.
What PSU do I need? Is it easy to replace? Thanks, Phil |

If the PSU does not have a selector switch, then there is a good chance that it is auto switching. In that case all you will need is a new power cord.
For example this FSP Power Supply Has "AC Full Range Input is applicable throughout the world." in it's specifications. |

yep, assuming its less than ~ years old, it will be swithcmode, and therefore auto sense the input voltage

If you remove the side panel of the PC i would guess there is a sticker on the PSU that states its operating specs etc. At least this is the case for most of them
