Using an Italian Wii in UK

[watkinsn]

Hi, I have bought a wii from italy but don't know how to change power so that it's compatible in the UK?

I'ts a PAL machine so I shouldn't have any problems other than the power supply. Any experts/advice would be appreciated.

Regards


Nick

Pretty sure Italy use 220 - 230 volts. You just need an adapter. Italy use a 3 prong grounded plug with all 3 pins rounded and positioned along the centre of the plug. You need something like this http://bargainoffers.com/catalog/pr...d=133&osCsid=a95de778d0f09f1446fcfd52bf6ac97f

Update

Thanks. I have managed to compare my wii power supply to a UK sold wii, and it's exactly the same - 230v 50htz. Given that I have simply replaced the two pin plug with a uk 3 pin (3amp) plug and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the time to post though.
