Title: Help with an AC adapter issue!
Post by: geepee16 on October 31, 2008, 05:14:39 PM

Hi all,
   i am in need of serious help.  my US pippin console is suddenly missing its AC adapter.  the pwer rating on the unit says this:
   AC 120 V
   60Hz
   0.5A max

   it is a female connector for three prongs and looks like something that would be used in most computers.  in fact, i have two adapters that fit but the one is rated AC 125 v.  is it dangerous to use that? if not, should i just take it to radio shack and have them order one? help!

yeah, it'll work. so long as it's rated for more volts than are actually used, you'll be fine.
