Why does my portable dvd player stop working in my lorry?

[2crafty]

I have had four portable dvd players for my lorry and every one has had the screen blow after a short time of playing. Is there anything I can buy as a surge protector or do to prevent it happening again.

Daft question but Is your truck 12 or 24 volt? and are your dvd players 12 volt?

Agree bigboots answer sounds most likely. Trucks are 24V and will blow any 12V equipment. Many trucks now have a dedicated 12V socket somewhere on the dash, otherwise you will either have to buy a 24V-12V dropper, or run a cable round from just one of the batteries.
