    Broken power input on portable dvd player

    Hello,

    I have this portable dvd player that I've had but didn't use for a long time. The problem is I went to plug in the charger, and noticed that there was a pin loose in the power input. It seemed to get broken somehow, it just fell out.

    I tried to plug in the adapter anyway but it didn't do anything. The power connection says "DC in 9v", it's pretty small. I tried to disassemble the dvd player and see if I could try and stick the pin back in, but I couldn't get it apart. I took all the screws out but it still wouldn't come apart, and I didn't want to force it.

    The question I have is if I was to get it apart somehow, would it be possible to just solder the pin back in? My soldering iron is kinda big also. I thought maybe I could just drop a bit of solder into the hole and quickly stick the pin back in, but that seemed like a bad idea.

    Maybe I can get a replace input? What should I do?

    It is a CyberHome Portable DVD Player CH-LDV 700B

    Thanks

      DC jack replacement is a common thing for laptops. If you take apart your player you may be able to find an OEM DC jack replacement. If not, you may be able to find a laptop DC jack that may be a suitable replacement?

      DC jacks for laptops can be as low as $1.50 USD on ebay.

          Not a chance in hell. You can never fix plastic components reliably just replace them. You need to replace the barrel connector by desoldering it and installing a new one.

          Search at Digikey for barrel connector you'll need to know the connectors inner diameter before ordering for example 2.1mm is a popular one.

          The case is probably held together by a combination of screws and clips it may require some pulling to dislodge them.

              Thanks for the replies,

              I'm a bit confused at the diameter thing, I took a ruler to it and it turned out to be about 4 mm. Now I did a search on digikey.com (I just did a general search because 4mm was not an option), and they all seem to be 2.1mmID-5.5mmOD...whatever that means. They aren't listing what voltage they are or anything like that so I'm just assuming it's like a universal thing?

              The good thing is they are only like $0.70

                  ID -inside diameter
                  OD -outside diameter

                  Measure the pin that fell out for the ID figure. Measure the plug from the charger for the OD.

                      HP 15-n070sw broken power input.

                      HP 15-n070sw (DAOU82MB6D0 REV.D) broken power input. Control pin short with 19V.
                      Now, after plug power input led power button & power blink 13 times and light led power socket I start the laptop but no picture on screen only backlight light. The external screen connected via hdmi does not display either.
                      I'm now wondering if a short circuit in the 19V socket could also cause the lack of image on the screen. Please rate and tell me what 13 flashes of the power LED mean.
                      Sorry my english.

                      Repairing the Hitachi DA-6000 CD player
                      by nervous_capybara
                      Hello everyone !

                      I recently conducted maintenance on a Hitachi DA-6000 CD player for my grandparents : it had two distinct issues.
                      Feel free to share your experience if you ran into other issues.

                      DISCLAIMER : BE VERY CAREFULL WHEN OPERATING ON THIS SYSTEM : THE HIGH VOLTAGE IS VERY CLOSE TO THE VARIOUS TESTING POINTS, PROCEED WITH CAUTION

                      CD tray would not come out of the player
                      I could hear a motor spinning inside the player but the CD tray would not come out.
                      Turned out that the issue was the CD tray belt that aged poorly and began to...

                      820-02020 Super Weird Issue: Keyboard Input Character Map "Wrong"?
                      by ugamazing
                      So, I have a really bizarre issue that I'm struggling to identify the cause of. Working on an 820-02020 board with some bizarre keyboard/input-source character mapping. My suspicion is a possible damaged SPI ROM (U1970), perhaps, but I'm really not sure in this case:

                      1. The issue is pretty weird, but when installing MacOS, I noticed my WiFi password did not work. I quickly realized the special characters (!@#$%^& etc) were not mapping correctly.

                      2. I noticed the keyboard layout/input-source is defaulting to JAPANESE every single time I restore the board. I am not...
