Hardware verify authentic charger

[pacax]

hi.
bought a new charger that told me original.
it stop working after few day.
i disassembly the charger and it looks to me not authentic charger ( maybe i wrong).
can you confirm it is original?

Missing components are rarely a good sign. That usually means they left out some safety/reliability features to save money. Something a 1st party wouldn't do on their own product.
Also, the printing on the outside looks lower quality than usual.

few things stand out to me, pcb doesnt match several disassembled chargers ive seen, both in terms of colour and components/amount of components, the printing on the back isnt very good either, very uneven contrast. also the nintendo logo on official chargers has an almost shiny element to it in the inlay on official chargers. looks like a fake charger to me

yeah i saw some pics of disassembled charger and they look totaly different.
but all the pics i saw are from other region, my charger is hac-002 (eur), so maybe it should be different.
what the first thing that suspicious to me is the two cheap red wires on the ac side, looks strange.

If you mind me asking, where did you purchase this "original" charger.
