LG dvd player stops/starts while playing disc

I purchased an LGDVB418 player about 2 years ago.
Paid less than a $100 new at CC.
I've always had minor stop/start problems but now it's at a point where every movie I put into the player can't be watched in its entirety.
Worth fixing or should I junk it?
Thanks

For a $100 player that is 2 years old do you really have to ask..............really?

Most repair shops have a minimum diagnostic fee of $50-75 which you'll pay even if the player can't be repaired, which isn't likely. There's no way that repairing a $100 player makes any sense unless you know exactly what the problem is and can do it yourself.

Toss it. You can get a new dvd player for under $40.00. Thats what I did when my $60 Toshiba quit. Sfar is right about the repair cost - PLUS consider the repair turnaround time - could be over a month or more.

Maybe try cleaning the laser lens?
