I have lost the power adaptor for my Sylvania SDVD8732 player-where can I purchase a new one and how much will it cost

On Off switch is the slide button on the side The switch may be faulty. You don't normally need it switched on to use USB, as the computer is supplying the power. This says it needs to be on for charging, that is odd!

When connecting to the computer via USB, it WON'T be recognised as such, but it you open Windows File Explorer, you will see it as a Volume in the left hand side pane. Drag music to a folder and drop music in from there.

return for replacement! if this is new you should have no problem turning it on!

On one or both? Take a flash light and look close at the screen while playing something. If you can see the picture on the screens then it is a back light problem. They are not easy to repair.

Of course you can, or go to your local electronics supply store and see if they have one that will work.

dvd players are a touchy thing and when they start doing this its time to get a new one or have it repaired.

Replace the strip wire that connects laser pickup unit to main baord at first. If do not help, repalce the laser pickup unit.

AS long as its a newer SD card you will be fine. Stick with name brands like Kingston, Samsung HP etc. Stay way from cheaper cards as they wont work as well.

Remove the main battery and power on, if no! check power supply that it puts out the correct voltage, if okay! the main board would need to be replaced, not cost effective to repair, cheaper to replace.

Hello

I would open it up and use some alcohol on a qtip and clean the laser. Small piece of round glass under the disc

If that doesn't work I would replace it, most likely coincidence on it breaking although you can't rule out being dropped or similar. However your dvd player parts are hard to get and rarely worth the time to fix they have gotten so cheap.. Thanks!

Power surge most likely.
