Hey guys, joined these forums since im getting back into the GBA scene, and so I bought a Nyko AC adapter on Ebay, came to my house brand new and still in its packaging, but it was DOA. Do AC adapters have a shelf life that you need to worry about? Because this was a 14 year old brand new AC adapter.
Hardware Just got an AC adapter, DOA?

Update guys, I took the thing apart with a screwdriver and jiggled the parts around a little. Its working like a charm now, as long as I dont put the screws back in xD
Oh, it was just an adapter. You plug the imitation battery pack into the back, and theres a cord you plug into the battery pack that is part of wall adapter. It only works while plugged into the wall, and i'm keeping it unplugged until my EZ Flash IV comes in the mail 
I took apart the imitation battery pack, because it wasn't getting power from the AC adapter.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
