DVD player just died

[ChaoZ]

I've had a Philips dvp642 for a few years now and now it won't turn on (just keeps blinking red). I want a new one like it, just something simple. I also want one to resume playback even if the player is off since this one can't do that.

Mine sucks, will sell for 20 dollars
I hate this DVD player I have all kinds of problems with it's progressive scan capabilities.

If you google 'dvp642 blinking red' you get some discussions about this problem. Seems to be a bad a capacitor. There's a description on how to fix it here:
