My Sylvania portable DVD player when charging the red light flashes is this normal or should it be steady?

SOURCE: Battery charger flashing red light

Clean contact points of both battery and charger with q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol. This solved my problem with blinking lights and not charging of the batteries.

I own the same DVD player. If the player runs from the AC Adapter but not from the battery (Adapter plugged into the battery) chances are the battery has worn out and it needs to be replaced. Trick is to find a battery for less than $40

check the microswith near the hinge . its generally located on near the back right corner of the player , on the control surface. it looks like a very small white plastic button or pip. sometimes these stick down and look like part of the player casing, when they actually are a switch. it needs to be raised , so when the lid is closed it pushes the pip down and turns the screen off. Try prising it gently free with a pin or needle. this happened tome and i was on the verge of binning it. when i looked at the manual and it says power light flashing slowly means screen turned off.
if the light is flashing very quickly then im afraid its knackerred and just not worth repairing.
if this is helpful to you then just drop me a line at [email protected]
good luck

I have the same unit, and had the same problem numerous times. I finally removed the battery and sprayed CRC electronic cleaner over the battery terminals as well as the units terminals. Put the battery back in hooked up the charger and it went green. It is playing as I write this.
