DVD player freaking out?, Uh oh.. 200$ down the drain? Options

[cnelson]

Ok, so i've had my DVD for maybe 3 months now, all was well untill a couple weeks ago when the screen started to turn into rainbox colors moving all over the screen while trying to play mp3 cds, cds, DVD's etc.. The radio, aux, and tv screen all worked fine.. Then it stoped. Today it started again, but now when i go to hit the eject button for the CD it won't eject the CD! I'm pretty pissed about this.. I mean i baught it off ebay and it was brand new right out of box! Everything worked fine for over 2 months, now this all of sudden? Anyone ever have this happen? Or have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks for any help.. -cnelson.

Was there any kind of manufacturers warranty?
What brand is it? Is it a name brand or an off brand?

I have had the same problems buying items off of ebay. I thought I found good deals just to find out that its an inferior item, usually a poorly put together component from china. They look great, but fail within 6 months.
