RCA DRC627N 7 in. Portable DVD Player

I purchased this DVD player less than 9 months ago, when my 20 month old son ended up in the hospital for a few days. Initially it was great! It is portable, durable and easy to use. My problem didn't start until yesterday when I pulled it out of the box to use it for the first time in 8 months. It will not load DVDs and the screen goes blank after about 5 seconds of playing the built-in games. When I contacted the manufacturer they stated there's nothing they can do for me, even though I kept the original receipt and packaging. I am just out the $160. I recommend that before you purchase a unit you check the warranty thoroughly! And take my advice and don't purchase the RCA DRC627N. I have researched this unit and there seem to be many people with the same problems that I'm having. Save yourself the aggravation and buy a different portable DVD player!
