I have an American Wii, its 110v and I moved to Saudi Arabia and I accidentally plugged it in without a converter. It made a lot popping sound and even when I plug it in a 110v converter it would not work so I opened up the power brick and saw some small yellow stains on the board.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

When you connect a device to a voltage higher than it’s rated supply voltage, it over-stresses the circuit inside the device. By doubling the voltage from 110 upto 220V you have also forced through much more current into the device. Chances are that 2 x voltage blew some components inside before the excess current would have over- cooked the the circuit inside. If a component has stained the board, chances are that’s what got stressed and broken down inside. The yellow stains maybe insulation from a component or transformer indicating the defect component. An electronics repair shop maybe able to help or seek out a replacement power brick? Hope this helps?

My cousin used to burn out her American hairdryers on UK mains supply all the time until she bought one specially to use in the UK and Europe.
