Power Leads?

[Praemonere]

Hey, I really need some help.
I just got the Wii I ordered for my little brother. And couldn't resist having a go.. (I was testing it.. Honest..), but I managed to break the power cable
I was just wondering whether I could use a regular 'kettle' lead until I can get a new one? Will it work, or damage it some more or what?

Any help would be reeaaaaally appreciated!

Contact nintendo, they will send you a new one for sure.

Hehe, thank you ^^ I'm planning to do that actually, I was just wondering whether I could use a normal cable until they can get it out to me? I mean, just in case it doesn't get here before Christmas =)
I've also gone back to the retailer and they've been inundated with it all, none left - They're pretty much snowed under. I think the person wanted to strangle me for just mentioning Nintendo Wii xD
Thank you for the suggestion though, s'appreciated ^^

If you use a power cord that isn't the nintendo wii one, your wii will explode (lol it will just maybe break), so try to call nintendo, they will send you a new one for christmas

:thumbsup:

Yeah.

Arent they a weird shape? I havent got a Wii but i remember watching a video review and the guy pointed out that the connectors were shaped differently to fit in with the design.

Hah.. Erm, okay, probably won't be doing that then xD
Enough problems without exploding Nintendoes

Thank you for all the help though, really
