Gamecube adapter blew up??

Question

I have a gamecube. Recently I moved to Europe and so I bought a voltage converter. The problem is that my sister put it in the 220V side instead of 110V and the adapter blew up. So I was wondering if a repair guy would be able to repair it.

Is it repairable?

Answer 1

not repairable from what i know..  the cube was expecting 110volts, and instead, it was hit with 220volts...  double what it expected.. i expect there was a popping noise, and blue smoke...?

i did this with a pc once, and had to replace the power supply... i was lucky nothing else was damaged...

the cube on the other hand, MAY be repaired by changing over the now dead power supply, but its really kinda hit and miss with things like that..
