What do I need in order to make a standard three pin british plug work on my laptop powerlead??? (in korea ofcourse)
Do i need some kind of heavy duty power convertor box type thing or just a little extension that changes 3 pin into 2?
any help would be great. |

Is it one of the two part power leads with a box in the middle? If so, does it say something like
"Input: 100-240v, 50-60 Hz"? |

When you arrive in Korea you simply go to an electrical shop and buy a Korean 2-pin power cord. About a quid. The connection on the computer end will be the same as your UK cord. No need for power conversion. It's 220V in Korea and UK. |
