The Blu Ray DVD CD player is Borked

Just got the doubly expensive DVD/CD player back from the repair service in FL and guess what: it does not work. I would greatly appreciate any geeks out there who would volunteer to come to Rancho de WereMonster to determine if this is a case of operator error on our part. I'm not even going to tell you how much we paid for the device and the repair. There would certainly be a free dinner for any one who can help.

Why didn't we just buy a new DVD player? We determined that the repair cost less than a new player of the same quality and would not throw more stuff into a landfill somewhere. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, we can only hope that the authorized repair center will stand by their work and take the player back again and/or refund the money spend to repair it.

What this means in the long run: No more movie nights for a long time. Maybe this will be incentive to curtail our spending on DVDs for a while too.
