Virtual Boy..dead??help

[rkotm]

I plugged my virtual Boy in to the wall, using the Nintendo made adapters (ac, and box that connects to the controller) and the console made a popping sound in the speakers. Then, nothing. It seems to be dead. I have no idea what to do, batteries dont work in the original box, and obviously Nintendo doesnt repair these anymore. I miss Wario Land! Any help is appreciated.

Are you saying you used an AC adapter, or that you used an adapter that output AC? You didnt use the nes-002 NES ac adapter, did you?

you probably used a wrong ac adapter and fudged it up.

There is no way to use another AC adapter but the correct one. The Virtual Boy uses an US SNES AC adapter which has a propietary plug.

I used the same one ive been using, the SNES one like the izarate said. Its the same one from 1997-maybe its just blown from crappy design.
