I think most of the problems with DVD players are due to bad filter caps on the SMPS secondary, i have fixed a few this way, there are 2 or 3 1000 or 1500 mfd caps, usually 10 to 16 v, if they go bad they will allow high frequency SMPS ripple to reach the digital circuits and cause them to malfunction.

My Cyberhome 1600 recorder is toast less than a year from unpacking it from the box. The Coby set top player my wife bought for the bedroom is skipping and freezing less than 3 months and 20 movies played. Conversely, my Pioneer DVD/LD combo player is perfect at nearly 10 years old and constant use.
