It just may be that your original power supply is NOT dead!

First, UNPLUG your "dead" power supply (from the wall outlet) and LEAVE IT UNPLUGGED for AT LEAST 30 minutes. Plug it back in - voila! Problem solved.

A friend told me about this trick after talking to Nintendo tech support, and sure enough - IT WORKED!

Unfortunately, I had already purchased this item by the time I learned of this. Oh, well, live and learn!

Now I have a backup just in case the original does die on me, but I do not have much confidence in the quality of this one. Definitely seems more cheaply made than the original. The markings on the bottom appear to be the same as the original, but not exactly. Also, this unit is lighter than the original.

I purchased this product from Vangoddy. They advertise both this product and another Wii replacement power supply that is clearly marked as a 3rd party replacement (for about $3 less). In reading the reviews, I noticed that there were complaints that the 3rd party replacements did not perform as well, so I paid the extra $3 thinking I was getting a genuine Nintendo part. The box I received clearly stated "This product is not licensed, designed, sponsored, endorsed or manufactured by Nintendo." I complained to Vangoddy, and they refunded me the difference between their two products. I do not know if they shipped me the wrong product or whether the genuine Nintendo product is not really a genuine Nintendo product. So far, in two days of use, no problems. But time will tell. If you really want the genuine product replacement, you may want to check with the vendor to verify that they really are providing a Nintendo part.

I just started using this AC power adapter, there seems to be something wrong with the product
It does power the. wii, however when AC power adapter is plugged into the wall outle(even without the wii on) it causes serious distotion on the tv and other devices plugged into the wall outlets
do not but this product!
