Answer 1 :
go to Toshiba representative or reseller from UK and tell them this problem. you need to change (or buy another) the charging transformer. the laptop should function anywhere.
Answer 2 :
Read Manual.
Answer 3 :
I finally agree with the Boogie Man, ha ha, that is what I would do, good luck.
Answer 4 :
No, you probably will not need to get a Voltage transformer Most laptop Adapters can take both 110V and 240V Look on the power adapter that came with it, it should say something like "Input Range 110 to 240V" If it does then it will work on UK power.
Answer 5 :
The laptop itself will run off something like 12V. What matters it the transformer that you connect to the laptop and the mains. Written on it should be the input voltage it takes (e.g. 110V-240V). If the country you are in uses that voltage, then you can just use it (with a socket adaptor to change the plug). Otherwise you need a new transformer.
