 |
|
The transformer box on my (North American) Wii only says 120V... what can I do to make it work in Korea, where I understand the power is 240V?
I'm worried about frying it. Are voltage converters reliable? Are they readily available? Do I have any alternatives?
Please help... I'm leaving in 5 days! |

The voltage is 220V, not 240.
You will need a step down converter: 220 to 110. You can get them here for about 10 dollars. Easy to find in Seoul. Outside of Seoul is not so easy. |

I've been using my Wii a year and a half in Korea using a step-down and have never had any issues.  |
