The brick in question is for the dell M6400; and it is indeed 110-220v. I think its rated like 225w (its a mini nuclear reactor). It gets a bit hot during normal use of mains, I guess maybe 45c.
So laptop bricks also have PFC ?
Will laptops work fine on a square wave (as opposed to a sine wave ) inverter ? Or will it reduce the longevity of laptops/power converters ?
Has anyone damaged a laptop or something on a square wave inverter ?
I got one of these, similar to

The problem is, the banana plug doesnt seem to fit into my ground outlets. The directions say to plug it into the round ground hole, but all my ground holes are square, and too big for the banana jack.
I'm getting an antistatic wrist band. Its supposed to be atached to "unpainted laptop surface", unfortnately, I dont think my laptop has one.
Can I attach the alligator clip to a metal utensil ?

"Another limitation is that flash memory has a finite number of erase-write cycles (most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand 1 million programming cycles). This effect is partially offset by some chip firmware or file...

As its a case/HDD combo. Not supposed to be user serviceable.

That is a prereq, however its not sufficient. I've heard of problems with even powered hubs delivering insufficient power to external HDDs.
The problems seems to be that these external divices draw more power than allowed by the USB standard.
I have this external 2.5 drive, powerred solely by USB:

Unfortunately it wont work with my T30, power seems to be insufficient.
Any recommendation for a USB hub that can crank out power to the drive ?

300Gs.
But that does not mean much, a drop of 6 *inches* onto concrete is enough to fry a HDD. This is as concrete is hard, and results in a high shock to the system, no smooth deacceleration.
I would not recommend it.
1.Enclosure is made of plastic.
2.No fan
This is not good for heat dissipation.
For the best setup, buy an apricorn enclosure. Its made of aluminium and has a giant 80mm fan. Plug in a seagate internal HDD (very easy to do), format the HDD and you're good go...
