Wii blowing the fuse

[gaz's girl]

When I turn the plug for the Wii on at the wall, it blows the fuse in the plug. If I then change the fuse it works fine as long as the plug stays switched on, if I turn it off at the wall, the next time I turn it on it blows the fuse again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks x x

Sounds like the socket, not the wii. Does it do this with other appliances as well? If so then you need a new socket.

or it sounds like a very badly wired socket, leave it switched off with nothing plugged in and get it checked!

I have had other things plugged into the socket with no problems. Will get it looked in to though.

Have you tried the Wii in a different socket?

[gaz's girl]

I have! Never thought of that earlier, but I have tried it in different sockets and it still does the same thing! Sorry if I seem a bit 'stupid' for not remembering, but this problem happened a couple of months ago. It only occured to me yesterday to post, as yesterday was the first time I had been on here in a while.
