Not working properly

Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Pros:It's cheap as payed $9,91 USD for it. Here in Brazil it's much more expensive.

Cons:It has not worked properly with me, when I tried to use in my European Wii, the red light turns on but the wii doesn't turns on.I tested it in Brazil 127V/60Hz plug and in that situation it doesn't work.I was afraid of using it when I took it out of the envelope since my original 220V/50Hz power source is much more heavier than this one. In general, for power sources the heavier ones have better internal construction as it uses more components to stabilize the DC output.

Other Thoughts:Indeed, it has worked when connected to a transformer 127/220V, but I bought it exactly to avoid using a transformer.I don't have access to a oscilloscope right now, but I still want to see the output and open it to see the internal circuit.

Bottomline:Doesn't work, but at least it hasn't broken down my wii....

Nice Wii Power Adapter

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros:I tested the device with a osciloscope and a variable load.. Max voltage flutuation was 0.4V at the output. Very good noise filter.. I think this warms less than the genuine wii power adaptor.

Cons:External build quality is good, but not the same as the genuine one..I didn't disasembled it so, I don't know about internal build quality..

Other Thoughts:Tested on 220V power line too, and the output as the same 12V.. Very good.My genuine adaptor only works at 120V.

Bottomline:Good replacement for Wii power adaptor.
