How to put a two-pin plug into a three-pin socket without an adapter?

Question

So I need to re-plug in my Nintendo Wii and I can't find a two-pin adapter, which sucks because the Wii uses a two-pin plug. Anyone know how I can put it in regardless? Because last time I looked, almost all the two-pin plugs in my house were already plugged into three-pin sockets, without adapters.

Answer 1

Is it a two pin plug where the pins are parallel (US style) or at 90 degrees to each other (Aussie style, and elsewhere I guess)

Solution 1 - get the correct power cable and plug it into the Wii instead.

Solution 2 - you can bend (as in rotate) the pins around so that they come round enough to be at the correct angle.

The second way requires care, in that you bend as close to the plug backing as possible without stressing it or the metal pins too much that they split or break.

It is best to have the twist as close to the backing as you can so that the big majority of the pins go into the power socket to reach the connecting plates, and yet not have so much pin exposed as to be an easy electrical hazard.

I would strongly suggest getting the correct power lead or the adapter.

Answer 2

use a ********** knife

Answer 3

If you are talking about house current, you use a 3 prong adapter to a two plug receptacle. you do not need a adapter for a two prong plug. Unplug some thing and use the receptacle, or get a extend cord, as they will have a place for more than one plug.
