I'm not american, so for that use american plugs i have to use some adapters. I have a charger -of my notebook- it uses a american plug type B. But i don't have a adapter type B, if not that i have adapter type A.
However, the adapter fits at the plug, but i don't know if this will be bad. ¿What i'll do? D:

I'm not sure what American type A and B are. The three pronged plug is grounded. You don't necessarily need ground and can use two prong instead.

If it fits it's fine.

check to see if the charger has a switching power supply - ie if it can use 110v/220v. If it can, all you need is a small adapter to change over to your local plugs. You can find this info by looking at the charger brick - it should have an area of text that refers to 'input'. If it mentions 110/220v, go ahead, it's fine. the 3rd prong is ground, and usually just meant for surges.

You should not leave the ground prong uncovered. Just sayin'.

It's kind of risky but there should be no problem if you just stay clear of it.
There's a plug adapter that turns 3 prong plugs into 2 prong plugs, can be bought at any electronics or dollar stores and be easier and less dangerous to use.

Okay, first off make sure the laptop charger accepts your country's voltage and AC power standard.

Then all you need is the physical cable adaption.
That round one on the USA plug is the ground, so it isn't necessary for the use of the charger. However, if you could ground it, it'd be nice.

As far as leaving it exposed... eh... not really going to do anything. I wouldn't f*cking lick it... but you'll be fine.

Biggest thing is gonna be that whole 'does the charger brick accept the 220 volts @ 50 Hz or whatever your standard is.

USA is 110 volts @ 60 Hz. Just for reference.
>>
Usually that part of the cable is detachable from the "brick" part of the power supply.

They'll usually use a standard connection that you can buy with your country's wall plug on the other end.

That way you can avoid using an adapter altogether. As long as it accepts multiple voltages of course.
