Typical of electronic devices they constantly get better and cheaper. They are rarely worth the expense of getting them repaired compared to buying a new one.

A dvd player? I think ours with a remote was LESS THAN $20. No one could afford to take it in, diagnose the problem and repair it for $20.

This is typically bad belts, and these typically go for $15 to $30 for a set, not including the time to take the unit apart and repair and test, etc. I would suggest just buying a new one. I have repaired several of these, but IMHO, it is not worth the cost.

they are so inexpensive, not really worth it to repair one. Buy a new one.
