Apex PD-10 Portable DVD Player with 5.6-Inch LCD Screen
Well, at least mine last longer than the others...
I received this player as a gift over 3 years ago.  The remote has never worked quite right and I typically had to be no less than 4 inches from the screen in order for it to work.  I just figured that since it was a portable player, it wasn't meant to function across a small dorm room.  Apparently the engineers didn't factor in the possiblity of using this to play DVDs on a regular tv.  Let me just say now that the DVD player received very little use until this year.  Within 3 months of increased usage - what my friends still term sub-normal - it has completely died.  The warrenty's been expired, so I'm not going to bother paying to send it off.
