- It might be worth checking the power supply. I think that player
was made during the era of the "stolen-electrolyte bad capacitor
plague" problem.

I had a Cyberhome DVD player of about the same vintage which
failed due to this problem. Replacing the caps fixed it.
A few years ago, I fixed my Apex AD-1500 by replacing the bad electrolytic capacitors (mostly in the power supply). I agree with David's advice on ways to identify the suspect caps.
