Dvd player not powering up

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with your Advent DVD player not turning off properly. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check the remote control: Make sure the remote control is not accidentally turning on the DVD player. Try removing the batteries from the remote and test the power button on the DVD player again.
2. Check the power cord: Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the DVD player and the wall outlet. Also, check that the outlet is working properly by plugging in another device to see if it powers on.
3. Unplug the DVD player: Try unplugging the DVD player from the wall outlet for a few minutes, then plug it back in and test the power button again.
4. Try a soft reset: If the above steps don't work, you can try performing a soft reset on the DVD player. To do this, unplug the DVD player from the wall outlet, wait a minute, and then plug it back in. Press and hold the power button on the DVD player for about 10 seconds, then release it. The DVD player should turn off.
5. Check for a hardware issue: If none of the above solutions work, the issue could be caused by a hardware problem with the DVD player. In this case, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a repair professional to have the DVD player serviced.

It's possible that one of the above solutions will resolve the issue, but if not, it's best to consult the DVD player's manual or contact the manufacturer

The unit circuit board is damage, unplug AC power cord for more than two minutes then reconnect power cord, if issue still exist have unit serviced.

It is a standard power plug.
Take radio to Tandys/**** smiths or electrical store - they will have one for sure.

You may even have same cord around the house.
Voltage and watts do not matter - should be just a 240 power cord like radios, kettles, TV's, VCR, DVD players use.

It is most likely a burnt out capacitor. It is probably the capacitor on the power supply and it will need to be changed.

You usually don't need to call the company to replace the power cord. Go to Radio Shack or your hardware store and find one that will plug in. By calling the company and getting an OEM replacement you will be paying extra for the name on the package. I have bought a cheap small appliance just for the power cord. A bit of leg work will save you aggravation and money.

Depend on your location you can get it from Best Buy, Radio Shack, CompUSA and Local IT stores around several dollars.
