my son plugged his 20v transformer off his laptop into the 9v socket on the dvd player,now the screen has no picture.....is the dvd no good or can it be repaired....thankyou
If you have the original power cord, should be 9 to 12 volts at 1.5 amp rating. You can go direct online to Venturer/Audiovox.com and look under updates/fixes for your model # and get a download update that you can copy onto a CD/ROM or DVD that will reset the programing as well as update your DVD player. This will also work for skipping issues if bumped etc. I have the same model and did the same thing to mine by mistake.

It will turn on for a brief moment then shut off. The screen will show the picture, but messes up while doing so. It stays on for a maximum time of about 10 seconds then shuts off. Yet, the actual DVD Player is still on. So, I'm basically unable to get a picture for over 10 seconds. Is there a possible way to fix it with out the help of professionals or having to buy a new one? Thanks, Lana.
