You can buy a DC adaptor for the Wii for UK standards. You can import the Wii. However you should know that some titles will not work unless you get Region 1 games. Its most likely your DC adapter because it does have a thermal fuse inside of it. You Wii also has fuses inside of it.
Your Wii should be ok. The USA powersupply expects 120V input so when you put 220V (or whatever) the powersupply pulled to many amps thus blowing a capacitor most likely.
I'd say your Wii should be ok too.
I would guess that the PSU has taken the hit. (more likely fuse than capacitor)
I would also guess if you got another (British) Wii PSU it may work just fine, as the DC voltages would remain the same globally.
i think regioning is bs screw ntsc and pal make one kinda system period
screw different plugs and shit thats just stupid, i dont know if america is diffferent or euope is differnt but we need a damned global standard for measurments, power, systems, and anythign else...like monies, it sound all be one standard to reduce arguments
wow.. u got lucky.. i really thought something fried.. for most people that dont understand the region crap.. he shouldnt have any problems playing the US wii in Europe aslong as he has the ac adapter.. a region 1 game and the correct tv that has ntsc capabilities.. so it doesnt really matter where u live it depends on the equipment u use.
just kidding. uhm, you shouldnt let this stop you from buying one still -_-
