Title: Help with an AC adapter issue!
Post by: geepee16 on 11/01/2008, 12:14 AM
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!

you mean this?

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