Dvd model DCP855/37 does not charge up w/power adapter. What can I do?

You don't have to rely only on the original charger for your onn portable DVD player. You can charge it using other methods: * **Power bank:** Charge your player while you're out and about using a portable power bank. * **Car charger:** Keep your player powered even on long road trips with a car charger. * **Universal AC adapter:** Plug your player into a wall outlet with a universal AC adapter that's compatible with your device. These options give you flexibility and convenience, allowing you to charge your portable DVD player in different settings.

See if you can find a replacement power cord/charger on ebay for that model for cheap.

I recommend you contact (email/phone) any seller and verify that the offered adapter is compatible with your model & serial number before buying:
SpectronIQ adapter

You should have a power adapter that you plug into the wall and then into the back of the DVD player. All the rest happens automatically. No power adapter, no charging.

If you are fast, you can get a slightly used GPX PD808B car charger and battery on eBay for $20.

You can buy a new one by clicking on the hyperlink:
