But after having put the breaker back on, I realized it wasn&#8217;t my TV the faulty part, but my cheap DVD player. I could even see some smoke going out of the poor guy&#8230; Since it wasn&#8217;t pretty new nor expensive, I wasn&#8217;t more worried about the player than the DVD inside!<\/p>\n<p>A screwdriver helped me to get the disc out of the dead player, and it was playing back some minutes after in my laptop&#8230; no way we had to miss the end of the movie!<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the laptop was only a backup solution, and I recently bought a new (and cheap &#8211; 40\u0080) DVD player to replace the broken one. I got one featuring USB and SD inputs (very nice to put an external drive and read from it) and HDMI output (not really necessary since my TV isn&#8217;t HD at all&#8230; but hey, why spitting on it?). And of course it reads plenty of formats.
