Hello,
I have bought a Wii console with a non working power adapter. After checking out the adapter I found that the issue was that it has a 120v input and probably was plugged in a 220v.
To fix it, I replaced a Varistor, a Fuse and a 200v 180uf Capacitor. The power adapter is rated at 120v and 51W. So after replacing the parts I plugged it in the AC convertor shown in the picture below, and in about 10 seconds I started smelling burning plastic then the fuse blew and the AC convertor started smoking! Now I have a burned out adapter and convertor. Anyone can explain why this happened
Thanks
