Initial IDM-1810 Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD and Car Kit
PLEASE DO NOT BUY
I'm only giving this piece of junk 1 star because the rating scale is from 1 to 5.  I wish I could give it a -10 !!!!<br />Unfortunately I did not read all the reviews of this product.  I was in a hurry to buy a portable DVD player and saw the screen size for the price.  BAD move.  I too have the problem with the black screen.  I was at home watching a DVD on battery when it flashed the &quot;low battery&quot; warning.  So I plugged in the adapter.  The screen went black!  I tried removing the battery and running on adapter.  BLACK SCREEN!  I tried replacing the battery and having the adapter plugged in.  BLACK SCREEN!  I charged the battery and removed the adapter.  Tried running on battery.  BLACK SCREEN!  I guess I'm now stuck with a $300 paper weight!  <br />DO NOT.......I REPEAT..........DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PLAYER!!!!!!!!<br />I wish I hadn't!
