I've had bad luck with third party GBP/GBA AC Adaptors, namely those InterAct ones. Two cases where I bought them originally, one for GBP and one for GBA--both which worked originally, then stopped working. With the GBA, I had the issue where I would turn the system on, the LED would flash, then it would shut off. Originally, unplugging it and letting it cool for a couple hours fixed this, but not anymore.
The funny thing is though, I picked up a bunch of GB AC adaptors at the TRU green tag sale, and brand new, they give the same problem. I tried them on two GBAs too.
Of course they made shoddy accessories that wear out quickly and/or right out of the box, but it seems that they also don't make AC adaptors with exactly the correct power specs. Kind of highlights the whole "unlicenced" fact.
Surely you guys have also had similar issues.
