And On A Positive Note...
... Marie and I fixed our DVD player somehow! In a highly misguided fit of "engineers should be able to do this"-confidence, we opened up the machine and took the whole thing apart. Turns out, the motor that spins the disk wasn't spinning. But a double shot from the air duster and kiss of WD40, and voila! It works once more.
I have zero confidence that this is a long term solution, but what was I expecting from the cheapest DVD player CostCo had to offer? The mere fact that we didn't break it further makes it a big win in my book.

misguided? i believe the fact that we triumphed proves that we were, in fact, "guided"...
next time we open 'er up, I vote we somehow incorporate duct tape into the solution!
