The power cord has a molded connector that fits in a slot punched out of the back left corner of the DVD player near the A/V jacks.
There are no screws that fasten the power cord connector to the DVD player's enclosure.
Be careful not to cut yourself on the potential sharp edges of the DVD player's contoured enclosure.

The power cord's white plastic plug is located on the DVD player's mother board.
Unsnap the power cord's white plastic plug from the mother board, and gently slide the male and female white plastic plug connections apart.
Be careful not to be too rough when disconnecting the white plastic plug from the motherboard; the motherboard could be easily damaged.
