Any suggestions on where I can get the power supply for my RCA Lyra RD2840 repaired or replaced? I let the magic smoke out buy forgetting to switch the AC adapter I was using from 12V to 4.5V. Thanks.

Unfortunately, the RD2800 Lyra family (RD2825, RD2826 an RD2840) mp3 players have a frequent problem in the battery circuitry, and there are two tiny integrated circuits that are shorted very frequent.
You will need to check the power adapter prior to confirm that the problem is in the RCA mp3 player.
Using a multimeter in DC voltage setting, check the AC power adapter gives a voltage of around 5.0 VDC. If so, then the mp3 player is fried.
The repair involves to opn it, and replace the damaged integrated cicuits. Only a qualified technician with tools and parts cando it.
RCA approved repair centers charge $125.00 for such repair.

Ok often the Battery will take a Looonnnggg time to charge up especially if real flat... Try leaving it overnight.. and see how ya go after it has been charging all night at least 12hours anyway... else try a replacement Battery/Power supply.. Also to test take Batt out, and connect up to the Wall PSU see if that goes if it does then it is just ya Batt.. else it's either ya Power Supply or Motherboard .. Good Luck
