I have a Sony portable DVD and need a new power adapter (cable has split and showing the wires).

The original one has an output of 9.5v but all the replacements I can find (non-Sony, can't find the original for sale) give an output of 9v.

Will the loss of .5v make any difference?

cheers.

 

No the voltage must be correct or will ruin the device
What you can do if your stuck tho
If you have the mains lead with plug attached ( for home use)
You can buy a inverter from maplins for around £10
Plug into inverter & inverter cigarette end into car , boat , truck etc etc
Problem solved . Make sure you get a 12v inverter tho not a 24v

 

model of device?

part number of oem cable?

 

Can you get a universal transformer, similar to what a laptop uses, with a switchable output?

 

Cheers for the replies chaps.

Model - DVP-FX720

oem cable no - AC-FX150

these are the only ones I can find - 9v output

 

on the OEM one you have what AMPAGE output is it? 2A??

I'd thought about that, but the kids use the DVD and I didn't want to risk it for £20!

You little star, you - a virtual pint heading your way!

 

ensure the ampage output and other values match up, did look like the one i found was the type that has a brick with kettle lead socket
