Hiya,
I bought myself a bargain price external DVD burner for my laptop while in Canada - which I would now like to use while in Europe. The burner is a Mercury (cased by Kobian) - nothing fancy, but it does the trick.
Since Canada is on 110v and Europe is on 220v - and there's no power selector switch on the burner - I will have to run it through a transformer in order to power it up.
Question is this:
I've got a power transformer with me for "50 Watts and up", but can't find anywhere how many Watts an external DVD burner actually uses -> does anyone know?
If a DVD burner only draws 25W, then using this transformer will fubar the unit (and vice versa should I use a low Watt transformer and the burner draws more...).
Help please
