    There wasn;t really a forum for this, so here goes....

    My sons have been given Gameboy Advance SPs by their grandparents. Nice! :D

    They were bought in the US and have US fittings and chargers, so I need to work out some system so they can charge them when they get back to the UK, and I hate electronics, so I thought someone out there could advise.

    The US chargers have an input of AC100V~50/60MHz 7VA and an output of DC5.2V~320mA. Now, if I just bought UK chargers, which have an input of 230V~50Hz and an output of DC3.3V~350mA is this going to work, or is this going to cause damage to the internal electronics of the system? The connection into the gameboy is the same.

    If this isn;t the answer, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really lost when it comes to electrics, and I'd like to get them rigged up with something before they return to England on Friday.

    Thanks in advance (Gameboy Advance! HA!)

    That was quick. :) Did you find specific adaptors, or a power converter from UK to US voltage that the Gameboy can plug into?
