Re: Broken power input on portable dvd player

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

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...
