I have a Tview t90dvfd portable dvd player wont power on. Occasionally screen would flash and infrared bulbs for remote would turn on.
I pulled the cover and found a burnt chip, not sure what it was. i searched, it might be an optocoupler, but the ones i bought are too large.
4 prong, perfectly square after i removed the damaged one.
Try again
Is this a good question?

A shaky-cam video doesn’t allow us to discern any detail at all. Post a clear and well focussed picture.
Based on what I can see, I doubt it’s an optocoupler as they tend to be used to separate a high voltage section of the board with a low-voltage section. When designing one in a circuit, a physical slot is milled into the pcb. So post a good picture where we can see the component designations and the surrounding circuitry.

Can you take close-up pictures from multiple angles? Also, are there any identifying markings in white paint near it on the board?

My initial suspicion is some sort of DC/DC converter. It would be strange for an Optocoupler. Looking at fail modes, their short-circuit is usually corrosion or tin whiskers, not internally.
It could be a tiny relay, or a number of other things. When the device is powered, what voltages are on each side of the burnt component?

I'll have to get voltages, i saw another vid he called it that so i thought, why not lol.

No marks or anything I can tell.

Shaky is best I can do lol.
I would have uploaded pics, but didn't see upload button. Now I do.[image|1641269]
