Battery life We just purchased a coby dvd player for our vacation. We charged the player all night and the light was green indicating a full charge. We turned it on and the screen immediately began blinking "Low Battery". PLease help, our return trip is coming soon!

90 day warrenty. I would return it. I just opened mine last night, and was up all night reading and applying. I am noticing some sketchy stuff with it however... I will play it out.

Take out the litium battery.Plug in the charger adaptor alone to get power,see if the portable DVD player work.Yes,than the litium battery is dead,not taking in any charges.Tries websites like Partstore.com,Amazon.com,Ebay.com to buy a new exact litium battery or a compatible litium battery.

The unit still,work?The battery when it low,the battery light turn yellow or red?Than when it fully charge it turn green?Just unplug the unit and use it dosen't matter,if the light don't turn off the light,that find.Or the battery is old and not taking full charged anymore that another resoan the charging light still on.

Store it full charge. If you store it low charge, then battery life will be compromised. Research and tests have proven that storing batteries full charged will extend its life. Also make sure that you charge stored batteries every 3 months to further extend its life.

nahh you cant over chargee silly;; when its done, its done, it just doesnt loose battery power. and im not positive about the light.. but i would most likely assume that when the green light is on, that means its charging.. thats how pretty much every electronic works.. light on-charging; light off-no charge. sometimes it varies by different color lights.


thanks ! hope i was helpful.

now maybe you could help me. i have the same portable dvd player and i have the plug in that goes into the actual player.. and you know how its that weird looking end that has the light that lights up.. well what is that supposed to plug into? because i dont have anything that it can plug into and im not sure if i am missing a piece..

thanks ! hope i was helpful.

take a voltmeter and test charger or borrow a known good one from a friend if you know anyone who has one , sounds like bad charger word--- it is much better to run all rechargeable devices mostly all the way down before recharging as these batteries will do what is know as establish memory and will shorten battery life do not leave on charge except when charge is needed

Lulu1121 and guest, red means no charge and will remain red till its fully charge. Then it will turn to green. In fact, coby battery can be charge directly without the whole unit attached. But if on charge too long and still red, battery is dead, kaput, finish. some even show evidence when the casing is swollen...gel chemicals inside is swollen. The power supply that came with it is the only way you can use it...portability is out of the question.

Good Luck

The second question, I couldnt work that one out at first, but now i think I understand. If you plug the player into the mains, turn it on, red light shows. Light turns green when battery charged. Do not use until light turns green (if plugged into mains). In other words dont use the player while the battery is charging. If it isnt plugged into the mains then the battery cant be charging and you can use. Until battery gets too low :)

I have a COBY DVD player TF-DVD7005 that hadn't been used in a while. When I charged the battery and the light went from red to green, nothing happens when I push play and the DVD doesn't spin. Could the battery be dead despite the green light and where would I get a new one?
