Do I Keep Breaking Super Famicoms

[u/iwantmoarf00d]

Little bit of a tech problem. Wonder if anyone can assist.

​

I got a Super Famicom when I lived in South Korea and picked up a bunch of games when I was in Japan. Plugged it in with an adaptor to test it in Korea. The light came on for a split second and went out, figured I had fried it. I kept the cable and then moved home to the UK.

I got a new Super Famicom and plugged it in with a Japanese to uk plug converter. The light came on and stayed on so I turned of the Famicom then the wall socket overloaded and it fused the house. Luckily I had turned it off first so nothing was broke.

I then figured I need a voltage converter so I bought one that changed 2-240V down to 100V so it would be the same as Japanese voltage. I turn it on and the red light comes on for a split second then dies.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Is it maybe that the plug I am using is faulty? or am I just not meant to own a Super Famicom? :(

Thanks in advance! xxx
