Yealth Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 The power adapter kind of should match exactly.

AtariChick Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 Never mind....the power adapter I got has a switch to choose the voltage you want....i had it on 3 volts....*note to self* read package before freaking out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtboy69 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 are you using a universal adaptor for it? i was jsut wondering cause i was using one on a atari jr a couple of days ago and it blew up literatly. it made a big pop sound and then shut off then smoke was running outta it i unplugged it and waited till the next day pluged it in with a real adaptor and it worked again but i was enough to turn me away from ever using uni adaptors again i hope what your using isn't a uni adaptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I've used universal adapters on various consoles with no problem at all. You just have to make sure you have it set to the correct specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtboy69 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 i use to think that too but not now i ain't taking chances with my consoles anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
