Jesus (from Club Hnostar) told me that the computer can receive 125V because this voltage is transformed again internally. But this is an increase of a 25% of the recommended voltage... Here in Brazil, the voltage is 127V, and my Turbo-R A1ST works fine. And it's 27% above the

in japan the actually use 110V using 115V is no problem. i have seen turbo-r's witch have been rebuild to 220V just by replacing the main capacitor 200v type 400V type (it's a switched regulated power supply) however i would not recommend anyone to do this. Ivan Latorre schreef: Hello I
