The only flaw that I can see is , it is in 2 pieces . 1 end of 1 section of cord plugs into the back of your T.V. and then into the adapter its self and then the end with the 3 pronged male end plugs into the wall outlet . The reason I had to buy this adapter was due to the cord that plugs into the back of the T.V. got lost during moving thus leaving me with a useless adapter - still worked good but , it won't work unless you have both sections of the adapter .
