Games abroad
Electrical equipment and game consoles, buying from abroad can be difficult, therefore, keräsimmekin information packet for those who are considering a game console or other electronic device to purchase from abroad.
First, in favor of the target to determine the electrical voltage and sähkötöpselin plugin type. As the tools can use the following tables: kropla.com/electric2.htm. Jenkeistä and Japan will need to purchase so-called. step-down converter or voltage transformer. Electrical equipment and wiring are in the wrong place to save a few euros, so be sure that the power converter is powerful enough to use design. Usable jännitteenmuuntimia sells domestic www.partco.fi and online stores include.

If sähkötöpselin plugi differs from the Finnish model, so here are required, preferably EN-approved adapter. English-only machines, the transformer plugi is different, a transformer suitable for direct plug adapter! Instead of the adapter can typically save postal costs by buying a machine without a transformer, and the acquisition of the machine from Finnish Finnish power transformer or a universal power adapter, which is powerful enough to ko. machine. Biltema has sold edukkaasti useful yleismuuntajia.Yleismuuntajaa purchase supports skim electrical safety has the website instructions, which is the formula of sufficiently effective to acquire the transformer: the sulakkeista. Interesting to read is: electrical equipment, and foreign countries.
The next concern is the television standard. Three main types are the European PAL, French SECAM and NTSC jenkkien (and Japanese NTSCJ). Television required support pelikoneen standard. This issue can usually find out the TV's instruction manual. In more recent game machines, TV standard problem can be circumvented by using an RGB scart cable. This calls for a game machine, the RGB-out and off the TV to the RGB-in jack, and the RGB cable. If the PAL-TV has an RGB true-in connector to the RGB cable to play in the U.S. and Japan, the equipment in full color. NTSC image devices require a 60Hz for the support that the new televisions in general, however, fortunately, is found.
It should also be noted that the so-called. aluekoodilukitukset usually causes that only the target area are the games machine due to fear. In other words, the PAL region games, digging Finland-PAL machine, but for example the USA's games will not work. Circumvent this problem is called modaamiseksi.

When the machine arrives, so you can sähkötöpselin symbolikilvistä ensure the countries with which the test laboratories have tested the device and agreed to its connection to the electricity grid ko. electric chair. For example: Nintendo 64: The töpseli: N = Norway, S = Sweden, D = Germany, FI = Finland, Finland. The machine can hit a wall, either thinking in those countries, and home insurance should cover possible damage. Is not the case, if you hit for example japski machine without the converter and the wall to the house! (polarized case, ie. Worst case scenario: house burned down, barn roof collapsed and died Äpyli).
If the voltage and hertsit (in Finland, 230 V and hertsit 50 Hz) correspond to the Finnish values should be the device to act directly, even though EN-approval should not. D-mark, ie the German approval ensures the functioning of the Finnish electricity network. The EU is moving towards an integrated CE-approval, but this is not already in the past, the equipment. More information can be searched TUKES site: http://www.tukes.fi/.
Old electrical appliances and equipment is highly recommended that you open the device and clean it for example, vacuum or compressed air gently because dust accumulates inside the surprisingly large amounts of dust and increases the risk of the warming and fire.
Observe, however, caution you open yourself strange device. Ask for advice, if necessary, more experienced. Stop immediately if you hear rutinaa or you need to use an unusual amount of power. You do probably something wrong. Take a picture, if necessary, for example, digital camera components of the places where you have to dismantle the machine. Put the note where mikäkin screw up, they can be of different sizes. Maadoitusranneke guardian is a friend, if you have the circuit boards.
Observe due caution when you open the machine, which is built into the monitor, such as Videopac G7200-series or Vectrex. If the monitor can loosen the fittings or the neck off the machine is opened, so it does not resolve anything. Monitor crown in the attachment plug in is ridiculously expensive borders tensions and the spirit of departure is almost sure, if you go ropeltamaan it. Extract the voltage, if necessary, an isolated screwdriver. But please do not apply if you do not know where you are on the mass is a good motto!
Videopac-series machines, and many others is a dangerous place for voltages marked the flash image. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Linkage diagram is an invaluable aid in even in small maintenance jobs. Fuse replacement is successful layman, but follow the manufacturer's values.
All the machines are not designed to be opened 20 years later, when the plastic parts are hapertuneet. Do not open the Sega SC-Series machines, without reasonable cause. Muoviklipsut fracturing almost certainly sudden hands. However, if you open the machine, so you can clean the naksunäppäimistön contact surfaces of the machine and circuit boards from dust. The device is, however, its somewhat tight, you do not find the large dust deposits, if the module is a hole already Cleaned. Also, do not use excessive force when attaching the Commodore 64: the bottom screws.
Please also note the kasausvaiheessa that all the parts come from the correct positions and that no wires will be crushed. Open a connection, possibly irronneitten lines place is always explained! Detachable cord is always a fire risk!

IMPORTANT!
None of the old electrical appliance should not be left on the lurch guard, especially if it is in fact not at home. This kind of home accidents could replace only a limited amount of damage. The so-called step-down converter, or else the power transformer should not be uselessly connected to the electricity grid, even if the machine had even turned on the power button. The older machines also vitiated the 90's made 220 -> 230 V voltage purchasing in Finland, but in general
lantern during normal use is not risk border, where the machines are rated for, however, small changes in the power supply. Transformer lämpöjä can try with your hand.
When those items are taken into account in favor of yet to ensure that the targeted machine is not available in Finland. Warranty Service, complaints, etc. are much easier for a genuine English-machine. Compatibility is then also 100%.
When all of this after you've ended up importtamaan the device itself, and confirmed the price level in the host country had yet to resolve the funding, the place of purchase, method of payment and postal charges in the purchase price. Instead of mail, you may need to rely on the company sent the aid, which may increase costs.
