Topic: Saving an American Wii in Europe

So a colleague of mine recently moved to Denmark from the States and brought a Wii with him. He didn't realize he needed a step down transformer, so simply plugged the Wii into a plug adapter. Naturally, he thinks the console is zapped.

So my questions are thus!

• What's most likely to have been fried? The AC adapter or the console itself.
• Should I attempt to plug it in with my own EU Wii AC plug & see if there's life in the old girl, or try and get an American adapter on the cheap and step-down it?

Then if it is indeed the console fried:

• Can I cannibalize a European Wii to repair it? Or is it just cheaper to tell him to import a new console?

Any help as always, would be greatly appreciated

It is probably the AC adapter that is messed up. You might be able to just use a EU AC adapter. The 3ds systems use any changer from any region without a problem so maybe the Wii is like that.

I thought the same thing Ash, I guess I'll just hook it up and try it. If the Wii's AC goes it's not the end of the world, I play the games mostly on the Wii U these days anyway
