I need help to translate a few words into Spanish.

"Needs power supply" or "Power supply needed."
"Please take me to Mexico where TV is still free."

Welcome to the forums!

Needs power supply/Power supply needed
= Necesita suministro eléctrico

Please take me to Mexico where TV is still free.
= Lléveme, por favor, a México donde la recepción de televisión sigue siendo gratis.

For this, I'd say:

Necesita fuente de poder.
or
Requiere fuente de poder

What Rusty says is not wrong, it's just how you interpret "needs power supply". What Rusty says, means that it needs a supply of electricity.

Correct! As Tomísimo says, fuente de poder is the apparatus, or device, that is found in PC's, televisions, etc. It is what provides the correct voltage(s) to the appliance.
