Toshiba SD-P1400 7-Inch Portable DVD Player
Possible fix  for black screen problem
I have had this unit for 11 months and had the same problem that several other reviewers had - a blank screen but the DVD plays.  I took it to the repair shop and found out that the 1 year warranty is only for parts and that it was going to cost $125 to fix.  I emailed Toshiba and they asked me to check the \\"select\\" switch located under the battery.  Sure enough, it was in the AV Out position and not the LCD and now it works fine.  Hope this helps :) <br /> <br />The player is OK - nice screen and good size and feel.  The battery has a very short life (sometimes less than the length of the movie) and has to be removed from the unit when it is not being used or it will drain the battery.  This is my first unit but I would think that there are better units out there.
