I had the following conversation with a Toshiba rep:

Me: I'm calling to find a nearby repair center for the SD-P1600.

(We establish that it's long out of warranty coverage.)

Rep: That unit gets a depot repair. I'll give you the address, and
they'll fix it for you.

Me: Okay. Can you tell me how much it would cost?

Rep: Oh. Yes. That would help, wouldn't it?

Me: It would. Is it a flat rate kind of thing?

Rep: It is. The cost is $114.95, which includes return shipping.

Me: I can buy a brand-new unit for $95.

(Pause.)

Rep: Can I set you up for a repair, then?

Me: Uh, no. I'd have to be out of my mind to do that. I'd have to be
insane.

Rep: Thank you for calling Toshiba.

The DC jack on the side of my Toshiba SD-P1600 has a small
barrel in its center, and that barrel has broken off, rendering
the machine unchargable and therefore unusable.

Don't make things worse by sneezing on the unit.

Have you contacted Toshiba?
