Does the FMV LIFEBOOK AH90/B1 FMVA90B1 work with a usa plug in outlet?

Question

Hello I purchased this laptop  FMV LIFEBOOK AH90/B1 FMVA90B1 on a Japanese proxy site and need to know if it will work with a standard united States outlet? I read that Japanese electronics work on a different voltage. So I am worried I won't be able to use it and it was $1300!!

Also does this have an English keyboard? If someone could answer these questions for me. Thanks

I don't know about the keyboard.     

                          

The power supply/charger is most likely a universal type  

that will operate on any common voltage or frequency  

available from any household outlet in the world.   

(Plug adapters cost very little, typically $3 to $5 at the most.)     

           

Look at the ratings on the charger.  

(Yes, the print is small. Use a magnifier.)   

If it says "100 - 240 V   50 - 60 Hz", you're good to go.    

             

Some have a wider frequency range such as 47 to 63 Hz,  

or even 25 to 400 Hz. The wider the range, 

the less there is to be concerned about.                                                       

                

                 

Do yourself a favour while you can: 

Write down the part number and the output ratings (voltage and current)*     

and keep the note where you Can Not lose it.   

That way, if the charger is ever lost, 

finding a replacement should be easier.     

             

*Many are 19 or 19.5 volts, but this value does vary, 

and the current might be anything between 750 mA and 6 A.  

As long as the replacement delivers the same nominal voltage  (+/- 1) 

and at least as much current as the original, it should work.
