A few years ago everyone and their dog had RCA leads for EVERYTHING and in some instances the leads failed.
For some it was because they had been mishandled, badly located/installed or of poor quality and in very rare cases, incompatibility.
I hope other members see your problem as some time ago one of the main manufactures had a major problem for some when the devises were connected via HDMI.
I note with HDMI they must be inserted correctly and pushed fully home and straight into the socket as they dont like being pressed 'Up' or Down'.
Can you do the following, try at least another HDMI lead, try the DVD player on another TV both with that cable and another, try the RCA/Component leads if the player has them, go through the Player's menu to enure that the HDMI output isnt 'turned off'?
I see in a catalog APO is selling standard DVD players for around $50, go Blu Ray for less than $70 or a portable with battery and 7 swiveling inch screen around the same price.
Based on that, regrettably its cheaper to replace than repair.
