Are the cords from the the power brick to a wall out standardized?

[PunDaddy]

I recently purchased a Laptop from CyberPower because it was impossible for me to find anything better spec for dollar. The problem is the the power brick arrived with a Euro plug. The power brick isn’t even rated for a voltage input of that high. I could just buy a direct plugin converter, but technically that creates the potential for more open faults in the system. Was wondering if the cords from outlet to power brick are standardized. If not will just buy pin to pin plug in “converter.” Rant over

That's a US plug though

However you can buy a adapter from US to wherever you live as it's 100V-240V and 50-60Hz, so it can pretty much support anything with an adapter (from what it looks like).

You took the wrong pictures.

 

Take a picture of where the power cord plugs int the brick if you want to know what power cord to get.

It's a type G plug, most notably used in the UK and Hong Kong, the latter most likely being where the charger originated from.

It's rated for 240V mains.  How high of a voltage do you think they use in the UK?!?!  20,000V?

 

Anyway.. I Googled "Chicony A15-180P1A" for you and came up with this picture:

 

 

That's what we call a Mickey Mouse connector, or a C6 connector.  A C5 plugs into it.

 

I then went to Amazon and searched for "C5 power cord" and came up with this:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005E2XT0W/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_hVICCbWT1G427

 

Done.

They do look somewhat similar, so I thought it was a US plug. The PSU still supports it though as it's 100-240V and 50-60Hz

No, not really.

The US Plug is tiny.

The UK Plug is huge.

And the UK Plug is a landmine.

It did look similar from Google Images, never seen a US or UK plug in my life (I don't travel much, I have been to the UK one time but never plugged in anything)

Thanks to all who commented. I ended up cannibalizing my ex wife dead laptop cable.
