Hi, Well as no one has chipped in yet, how about letting us in on your closely guarded secrets
Model No. ?
Age?
Voltage/power requirements requirements?
Grey Import?

Have you tried Maplins or local parts suppliers, radio spares. Freecycle may have the part.
Chargers are fairly common items. Where did you last see the lost item, checked the car spaces, bedrooms, garage
Thanks

thanks for replying, the dvd player is about 18 months old I can't see a model number on it. It takes a dc 9-12 volt adapter. I haven't tried maplins but there is a local store so I will try there. We took the player away with us on holiday and haven't seen it since so I guess we must of left it behind:mad:

I had a similar problem and found these guys online. Just remember when you're shopping around that Voltage has to be an exact match. A 12V DC device needs a 12V DC adapter. And Amperage is the amount of power your device uses. The adapter you order has to be able to supply AT LEAST the amount of Amps your device draws. If your device states it is 12V 3A, a 3A adapter can handle that load, but so can a 4A and 5A. The higher amperage (amp) power supply will not have to work as hard to handle a smaller load, and will run cooler and more stable.

If the Amperage of your device is uneven, such as 3.13A or 4.16A just round up. 3.13A rounds up to a 3.5A adapter, a 4.16A device will round up to a 4.5A or a 5A. Just match these two specification (V and A), the power supply will work for your device.

Goood luck!

Take it in to maplin and they'll sort you in about 2 minutes and £10-£20.
