    Default Has Anyone ever have an AC adaptor for an old system overheat?

    I have it was so hot to the touch it felt like it could have caught fire anytime, it was a sega cd and sega genesis AC adaptor it was pluged into both of them at the same time, it doesnt help that the electricity went out when it was plugged in and stuff.....

    Dude. There's a tech section for this stuff. Why don't you contribute to existing topics rather than constantly start new threads all the damn time? That seems to be what's getting you the most flack.

    I've never had an AC for anything overheat, although with how much heat was put out by the AC to my first laptop, I'm surprised it didn't. Still have that AC somewhere, because it works quite well with my NES, even though it puts out slightly less power...

    Power adapters normally get warm to very warm when plugged in, I haven't really heard of any Sega adapters overheating though.

    Oh, that's different. Most of those replacement ones like that are poor quality, so yes it's very possible that it would overheat. Stay away from the single power supplies that power several units at once.

    Why did the AC adapter cross the road?

    Because it was on fire, and there was water over there, lol

    Alternate answer: To get away from Urzu402

    Did anyone see that topic started by Icarus Moonsight the other day?

    TOTALLY BLEW MY LOAD.

    EDIT, so I actually contribute to this thread: I've never had one overheat for a console. My laptop's, however, gets quite hot at the drop of a hat. My usual answer is to unplug it until it cools down. That's obviously not an option for a console, so I'd suggest trying to get my hands on some first party ACs, stat. (Presumably) unlicensed third party crap = stay away if at all possible.

    We're just hoping he goes on a Fighter17-esque anti-gay tirade before we ban him.
