Question

My DVD player wont read the DVD's anymore, what can I do to fix it? it is 7 years old?

Answer 1

7 years, one word, WOW

Its way past its retirement.

Answer 2

Yup, I agree, trying to repair it will cost as much as a decent upconverting player.  

And you are wasting your $$$$ getting a cleaning kit, 95% of all DVD repairs involve re-aligning the laser assembly, over time they go off alignment and will not track any DVD's.

Answer 3

Toss it.  They have come down in price so much in seven years you won't believe it.  You should be able to find one for $ 30.00, and chances are it will be better than your old one was when it was new.
