I bought 2 of these. When I turned one "ON" it worked well enough to get the Wii going but when I put in a game disk, the Wii did not recognize it. I tried a lot of other games with the same results.

I went as far as calling Nintendo & having them issue a repair slip for a "defective disk drive".

I later tried an original power supply from another system and all the games loaded & worked just fine. So, I tried the second power supply just to find the SAME PROBLEM PLUS "SCREEN STATIC".

These units are cheaply made & are very light compared to the originals.

I guess you get what you pay for & now I have to call Nintendo & tell them to cancel the repair order.

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! I threw my money (and both power supplies away).

This is not a "Nintendo Wii Official AC Charger Power Supply". It is very deceiving putting "official" in the title. This is a worthless, cheap, lightweight power supply. Do not be fooled. Do not buy.

First off, let me say I wish I had read the reviews before buying this product. I was led astray (as many others) by the "Official" in the title. This does NOT equate to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), as this device is a cheap overseas knock-off of the real power supply. You can feel the difference in the weight, which translates to improper shielding and heat-sinks.

The new unit did indeed power up my Wii, but causes an electronic pulse (looks like a static bar) through my television that makes it impossible to play any games.

Not I've wasted my money, and have to find another vendor, since I can't use this item.

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!

I can't say how good this particular replacement is - I bought a different one before I learned of this trick, but the one I got was not original either (and much lighter and more cheaply made), so I gave this one 3 stars (a neutral review). I would definitely heed the warnings of the other reviewers here.

The listing stated that this item was an 'Official Nintendo Wii' charger. The charger they sent is clearly not. It's half the weight and quality of an original.

I don't mind if an item is not an official item, but list it so. Blatant lies in a listing needs to be addressed by Amazon.

When contacting the seller multiple times, you get absolutely no response, so I had to open a case against them. Lets see how that goes.

I was disappointed to see that this is not an official Nintendo product. The description on Amazon should include the text from the package: "This is a Hyperkin(R) product and is not endorsed, manufactured or distributed by Nintendo." This power cord is not UL Listed/Certified. There are so many similar listings for Wii Power Adapters on Amazon it is very confusing, but to claim this is a 'Nintendo Wii Official' product should not be allowed. I am still trying to get a Nintendo-endorsed product from this company, which responded to me saying they don't offer a real Nintendo adapter, but has a different Amazon listing (Nintendo-RVL-002-Wii-AC-Power-Adapter/dp/B0033QISHU/) for a Wii Power adapter that includes the claim "This adapter is original and of Nintendo Brand." Seems pretty close to false advertising to me.

This is the second power cord I have had to purchase for my WII. any time we get a major thunderstorm, it blows out the cord- even with a surge protector. thank goodness it doesn't blow out the wii! so- the cord works great to protect the wii- I just wish they wouldn't blow so much. I'll have to start buying in bulk

Great replacement for OEM cord, works as well as the original one and does not get hot. If your original power supply bites the dust this one will do the job at a great price.

It's a power supply, does exactly what you need it to. Not very compact but I guess that means it doesn't get too hot. 6 months and still going strong.

It does it's job!! Very happy!! Had a surge on the wii and this fixed it. If you need another power supply this item works great.
