Thailand and Tokyo use different voltage. You probably burned up your laptop. It's best to take it or send it to a dealer to see if it can be salvaged. Remember, when traveling to different countries, it's always best to check the voltage ahead of time. You can buy an adapter just about anywhere. I hope you get it working again.

its possible that they use a different voltage over there, i would have researched that befor i went. if the voltage was higher it could have damaged your computer. usually temperature does not affect computers, only in extreme cases
