Chopping off my tv plug and adding a cig adaptor - will it work?

[JuliaJackson199]

Hi all

Some help please if possible. I have an Alba 16 inch tv in motorhome. It's a led16911hd model - showing on the back sticker
- Power supply 220-240 ~ 50hz 20w


Now if I chop off the plug and fit a cig adaptor to plug into my control panel adapter will this work?

Thanks in advance

Hi ya,
Unless it has a facility to run of of 12v then I doubt it very much.
It needs AC not DC I think.

Chopping off the mains plug and fitting a cigar lighter plug in its place definately won't work, but if there is a largish rectangular block along the lead between the plug and the TV, you might be able to do what you want to. If there is a block like that, see what is written on it. There would be a voltage in and a voltage out.

Hi

Thanks very much for your replies. Sadly nothing denoting the voltage and no block in between, so I'll have to invest in an Arvtex at some point

Buy a new 12 v tv & sell the old mains one on ebay.

Plenty of cheaper 12 volt tvs on ebay

I bought a nice 16" TV/DVD by Cello a few months ago. Around £130 and came with both a 240V AC lead and 13A Plug, and a 12V DC lead with cigar lighter plug.

Problem is it uses about 3 times the the battery power to convert.

Only power blocks are good to convert like that! some have a adapter as a 240v 3 pin house plug also.
Any box will have a small amount of information .

May bee your unit has a separate input at 12v
