To save you the reading, here what it was about ... My cousin's new Wii from abroad got fried when he connected the devise in a 220 volts socket instead of using adapter to lower the volt to 110 .... The machine made a pop, and smoke scent covered the appartment.

We sent the Wii to a professional electrical engineer ... he just changed some components in the adapter ... and it worked ?

Thanks for those who helped, and thanks for Nintendo's high voltage safety measures :)

Well, like all electronics, they can't run without the smoke in them. So if you see smoke, it is leaking and if it loses too much smoke it will quit functioning altogether. If you open your computer and see all the small battery like cylinders in there connected to the mother board... that is what holds the smoke. When you took it to the electrician, they plugged the leaks and put more smoke in it so it would work again.raahsnavj

Actually there are no smoke stored at all in any electronics devise .... here is what happens:

when there is a high voltage across a certain wire or interconnect, the current increases ... since the Voltage = current X impedence = current x resistance ( fn the impedence is pure real ) ... any way when there is too much current ... the wire or the electrical component heats up and like anything gets too much heated up ... it burns and smoke comes out as result.

The capacitor is an energy storage component .... and it is used in setup circuits to mentain uniform power distribution across an IC or Chip or a device ... also it is a used in the design of filters ( A famous circuit block that allows the passage of a waves of certain frequencies and block others), and have many other purposes ... There is no smoke stored or anything of that sort.

As a conclusion .. the smoke comes only from overheating

:DSorry man ... it's just cause i am in my senior year in electronics engineering and i am 23 years old .... you'll know that stuff when you get older)
