who can repair dvd player?

I've got a Goodmans portable dvd player but not working anymore. can't load DVD, it just searches, 'loading' msg then it stops...sometimes it works if you bend the dvd a little but that's too risky (for DVDs!). silly question maybe but who can repair this (not under guarantee anymore)? do i go to a TV repair shop? and what do you reckon it will cost? is it worth it?
thanks in advance

    Take it apart and see if its anything you can fix (cleaning laser etc)
    it not i would just buy a new one, it would cost more to get your old one repaired.

    It would cost a lot more to fix than a new one, you can get a new DVD for under £30, they would charge that per hour to work on the old one,,, :rolleyes:
